Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am not aware of the specific case. It is unacceptable behaviour. There should be no evictions of that kind. I do not know whether the matter has been referred to the Garda. There is a law in place.

There has to be a zero-tolerance approach to this kind of behaviour if it is illegal. There has to be respect for people and dignity and humanity must apply. The RTB is in place and the legislation is there. What we need is enforcement of the legislation.
