Ms Mary Conway:

We know there were a few people who were two years pushing and trying to complete to keep their tenant in situ. In the end they had to give up because they were under pressure from the banks and they just had to sell and issue termination notices. The scheme is a win-win for everybody, for the landlords and for the tenants. To think that the funds have run out by around March this year seems absolutely crazy. I have a landlord who is trying to keep his tenants and Fingal County Council said, "Absolutely no", but it took us eight weeks to get a response from the council to say that this was not going to happen and that it has stopped doing it . Why does it take eight weeks to get a response to an email?
