Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Scrutiny of Homeless Prevention Bill 2020, Tenancy Protection Bill 2023 and Dereliction and Building Regeneration Bill 2022: Private Members' Bills (14 Dec 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Chair. The origin of the Bill arose from my experience, which is probably similar to that of other committee members, of working with people who were at risk of homelessness. They might have received a notice of termination or there might have been some other circumstance relating to their accommodation that led them to face a moment where they knew they would have to leave that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Scrutiny of Homeless Prevention Bill 2020, Tenancy Protection Bill 2023 and Dereliction and Building Regeneration Bill 2022: Private Members' Bills (14 Dec 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: Not necessarily. Whether people get a 90-day notice, which is the most common one at present, or shorter or longer notice for those who have been in a property for less than a year, whatever the length of the notice, the crucial thing about the time period and the real issue is what is a reasonable period to require the local authority to put a homeless prevention plan in place. It could...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Scrutiny of Homeless Prevention Bill 2020, Tenancy Protection Bill 2023 and Dereliction and Building Regeneration Bill 2022: Private Members' Bills (14 Dec 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: The earlier the prevention plan is in place, the better. If the Senator is asking whether the local authority's obligation should kick in on the issuance of the eviction notice, it would be the optimum point for it to kick in. It is important to note that although the RTB is notified of the termination, the local authority is not notified. Legislation brought forward by the Labour Party...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Scrutiny of Homeless Prevention Bill 2020, Tenancy Protection Bill 2023 and Dereliction and Building Regeneration Bill 2022: Private Members' Bills (14 Dec 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I ask the Senator to allow me to go through the answer. The first issue is that not all people in emergency accommodation have access to a key worker or a support worker or a place finder service, which is the other new service that has been introduced. Some of those services are not provided by the DRHE. Support workers and place finders are provided by the four individual local...
