Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Right to Purchase) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Smyth:
I probably created that confusion. When I was talking about 12 months in respect of the grounds under paragraph 4, I talked about a son, John, moving into Mary's house. If he moved out within 12 months, there would be an obligation on the landlord to let it back to the previous tenant. That is where the 12 months come in. To be honest, I do not think it helped to mention it.
