Like many others, I am incredibly worried about the eviction ban being lifted. As has been said by others, the Sinn Féin Bill provides one last opportunity for Deputies to vote in the correct way.

I ask for clarity on the tenant in situ scheme. Louth County Council is considering purchases for people who have been on the housing list for five years or more, but it has to be the same as they could avail of if they were bidding on choice-based lettings.

If there is a room too many or a room too few, as far as I understand it, it will not be considered. What direction is being given to councils regarding the criteria? What will the criteria be for the cost-rental tenant in situ scheme for those not on the housing list? What is the timeline for that?
