Mr. John-Mark McCafferty:

In response to the question on resources, the model that the Dublin Region Homeless Executive operates in terms of bringing all of the players together is really important for planning in the short, medium and long term. We had a conversation in the past around regional homeless fora. What is really key at a time of crisis is that across the State, all of the players are working together. The DRHE is a model for what happens in Dublin. It is really important that the local authorities, the HSE, voluntary organisations, and private providers are regularly communicating, planning and co-creating solutions across the State at a regional level. That is really important.

The Deputy asked about resources and I would underline the fact that resources in prevention are really key here. However, even within that there are limitations.

If a landlord is selling and the notice of termination is legitimate, what can be done is limited, notwithstanding the success of the tenant in situscheme.

Winter eviction bans require really delicate decisions to be made by the Government. Our sector has made its feelings known on the respite that the previous ban provided for tenants and the policy innovations that came from it in terms of the great momentum behind the tenant in situarrangements of the past couple of months.
