Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I shall frame three questions. Will this create an additional charge for tenants under the rental accommodation scheme? How will the legislative framework for this measure be pitched? Will it be included in the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill although regulation is still awaited in respect of the private management sector? Third, although councils will be obliged to get into management, they will be unable to manage half an apartment block. What will this mean for social integration and social housing? If my understanding is correct, the only way this will operate is that one will have entire apartment blocks of rental accommodation scheme tenants. That would constitute ghettoisation, not social integration.
