Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source

The first issue I want to raise related to tenancies and tenants relates specifically to the pandemic. I found this out in the past few minutes and would like the Minister to do something about it urgently. Somebody who I know personally has just found himself homeless. He lives in Dún Laoghaire. He has been told that the only accommodation available is to share with five other people in Frederick Street North. This person has a chronic respiratory condition, very bad asthma, and is extremely vulnerable. I will not mention his name. We rang the council and said that it is unacceptable for somebody who is medically vulnerable to be put with five other people. I was informed by the council that the cocooning regime put in place during the height of the pandemic has been phased out. If the Minister is saying that is not the case-----
