Grace Boland (Dublin Fingal West, Fine Gael)

I am also going to be a little parochial and talk about the tenant in situ scheme. There has been an underspend of local authority spending in the amount of €225 million, as my colleague mentioned earlier, yet the tenant in situ scheme in Dublin Fingal, the area I represent, is effectively closed for 2025. A total of €20 million was allocated for second-hand purchases. Some 65 properties have been purchased to date and eight are sale agreed. That means Fingal County Council cannot commit or even entertain the tenant in situ scheme for any other tenants who have received notices of termination and are at serious risk of homelessness. It is a real issue. Fingal has one of the longest housing lists in the country. I am getting queries every day from tenants who are terrified and from landlords who are leaving the market and worried about their tenants. They want to ensure their tenants are looked after. To be fair to Fingal County Council, it has no more money to allocate. It cannot entertain even a conversation about the tenant in situ scheme for the rest of 2025. Is there anything I can say to these people?
