- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Is there a delay between the RTB making a decision and issuing that determination order?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Could it be the case, as was publicised recently, that six or seven weeks go by from making a determination to issuing it formally? That seems a bit off. Is that not the case?

John Cummins: Is the appeal period 21 days?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Here is where the criticism would come in. If it is 14 days, I do not think it would be reasonable for the formal determination order not to be received within 21 days, which is a further week. If it is 21 days, I do not think it would be reasonable for it to be beyond 28 days, where no appeal is made. If it has been received and both parties have been notified of their option to appeal...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Does Ms Loughlin agree a further week is not an unreasonable time where no appeal has been made? Obviously, all bets - pardon the pun - are off where there is an appeal.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Is it? I think that is an area where there is justifiable criticism.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Okay. Could the RTB commit to a two-week period? Surely that can be done here? I think that is far too long, Mr. Keegan.

John Cummins: Please.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: In what way does Ms Loughlin mean? Let us say a decision is issued and goes to the District Court, which upholds the RTB's decision. Is Ms Loughlin saying there are still difficulties after that? I would not be aware of that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: It will obviously come back to the committee in the context of that legislation. I call Deputy Gould for the last ten questions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Done? I thank Deputy Gould.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: Exactly. I thank Ms Loughlin, Ms Crimin and Mr. Keegan for being here. I reiterate the comments of the Cathaoirleach, Deputy Matthews, about the progress that is clearly being made by the organisation. I thank the staff of the RTB for the progress that is being made. We will continue to hold them to account for the timelines that we all want to improve in the time ahead. I thank the...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Cardiology Services (11 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: The expansion of cardiac services at University Hospital Waterford, UHW,is a topic on which the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, and I have worked continually because we are acutely aware of the need and the impact it has on our constituents in Waterford and the wider south east region. We have worked collaboratively along with other public representatives and campaign groups on a...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Cardiology Services (11 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: That is the key issue. It seems from the Minister of State's discussions with Mr. O'Sullivan that we can get to that level of service while the recruitment is ongoing. Obviously, these are highly skilled individuals who are not waiting around for a phone call to take up a post at UHW. It is good that we will be able to move to that level of service while the recruitment proceeds at the...
- Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2024: Second and Subsequent Stages (11 Jul 2024)
John Cummins: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. The Government takes plenty of flak for many things but it certainly cannot be accused of not taking this matter very seriously. It is implementing a fix to what has become an issue. It is clear, as others have said, that asking students to pay for out-of-term accommodation is not appropriate. The Bill seeks to introduce three main...
