Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Is mian liom dul ar ais go dtí cúrsaí tithíochta, go háirithe an scéim a bhí ann chun tionónta seilbhe a chosaint. Tá an dealramh ar an scéal go bhfuil an scéim sin curtha ar ceal nó ar fionraí agus nach bhfuil sí ag feidhmiú.

I am returning to the tenant in situ scheme and to the earlier theme of who is actually telling lies. I say this because apparently the tenant in situ scheme has been suspended since the middle of December. This was conveyed verbally to the city council in Galway, which affected other local authorities throughout the country. As I stand here, 15 units with 11 tenants are going to fail if clarification is not given on the scheme. We have the city council being told by the Department it is suspended, a public release from the Department saying it is not and a question telling us it has.
