As the Taoiseach is aware, the 35 families living in Tathony House have all received notices to quit. The landlord is selling the property. Among the tenants are healthcare workers, construction workers and community workers. These families, many with children, are facing a future of homelessness. It is that stark. Dublin City Council has met with the residents. It is currently exploring whether it or an approved housing body can purchase the development and keep the families in situ, as social and cost-rental tenants. Will the Taoiseach commit to doing everything in his power to ensure that these 35 families do not become homeless?
