Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (25 Jun 2009)

Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (25 Jun 2009)

Pádraic McCormack: Anti-social behaviour causes grave concern in certain cases. Many neighbours feel helpless in this regard and this amendment would certainly strengthen the possibility of achieving something concrete to deal with anti-social behaviour. The situation can arise in local authority or other housing estates where neighbours are forced to move out because of anti-social behaviour rather the...
