Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I move amendment No. 14:

In page 11, after line 41, to insert the following:

"10.—(1) (a) The Health Service Executive shall not make a payment of a supplement towards the amount of rent payable by a person in respect of his or her residence where the tenancy has not been registered in accordance with the provisions of Part 7 of the Principal Act, unless the tenancy is one which is not required to be registered under that Part, in particular because the tenancy is one with an approved housing body in the co-operative or voluntary housing sector.

(b) Paragraph (a) does not prevent the payment by the Health Service Executive—

(i) of such a supplement upon the creation of a tenancy, or

(ii) of assistance in the form of a deposit prior to the registration of the

tenancy.".
