Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I will continue the conversation about the tenant in situ scheme because the information both the Minster and Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, have presented is not the same as the information given to local authorities in the circular of June this year. There is a cap - it is 50% above the targets that have been set for local authorities. Anything above the 50% cap must be submitted individually to the Department for sanction and that currently takes months. There are also other restrictions in the circular which local authorities and approved housing bodies are expressing concern about.
