An Bille um Bearta Éigeandála ar mhaithe le Leas an Phobail (Covid-19), 2020: Céim an Choiste agus na Céimeanna a bheidh Fágtha - Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Mar 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: Amendment No. 21 seeks to give families and renters a breathing space of three months at the end of the emergency period. I think that is a sensible measure to make things a bit easier on people.

Cian O'Callaghan: I move amendment No. 17: In page 8, to delete lines 16 to 18.

Cian O'Callaghan: I move amendment No. 18: In page 9, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following: “(7) During the duration of the emergency period licensees in owner occupied homes shall be entitled to a notice to quit period of at least 28 days.”.

Cian O'Callaghan: I will address amendment No. 18. There needs to be some level of protection for people who are effectively living as licensees in owner-occupied homes. This is a very modest and balanced proposal for 28 days' notice to quit.

Cian O'Callaghan: I see no reason there should be any issue with these amendments, which are in the context of what regard the Minister should have when making a decision on the Christmas period. The issue of public consultation is very important. With the strategic housing development, SHD, process in particular, there is the provision for municipal committees or area committees to have an input. If they...

Cian O'Callaghan: It is in a time of crisis that society realises just how crucial a role people working on the front line, including in the Defence Forces, play. I take this opportunity to extend the Social Democrats' strong support and solidarity with all those working on the front line, including in the Defence Forces but also the public health officials, GPs, pharmacists, nurses, doctors, shop workers,...

Cian O'Callaghan: In éigeandáil mar seo, tá orainn oibriú go han-dian chun daoine leochaileacha a chosaint. We must do everything we can to protect those most vulnerable during this crisis, especially those who have been working in precarious conditions and renting precariously. Many people who have lost their jobs and income now face huge uncertainty in their rented accommodation. These...

Cian O'Callaghan: I want to raise several points. As Deputy Shortall said, we effectively have the introduction of a two-tier social welfare system. While these measures are very welcome, we need to look long-term at what we can do to ensure sufficient income protection, not just at this time of crisis, but recognising that every time people lose their work is a time of crisis for them. Given the social and...

Oibreoidh mé go crua mar ghlór ar son na fírinne agus ar son cearta sóisialta. Ba mhaith liom freisin thar ceann an phobail...
