Covid-19 (Housing, Planning and Local Government): Statements (7 May 2020)

Eoin Ó Broin: I give him that commitment.

Covid-19 (Housing, Planning and Local Government): Statements (7 May 2020)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister for his answers to which I will respond. He missed two questions, one of which is really important. We have a situation in Dublin where single men in particular are seeking to present as homeless. They are not able to access assessments in a timely manner and they are not able to access emergency accommodation and, therefore, they are being forced to sleep rough for...

Eoin Ó Broin: I want to speak to amendment No. 38. Obviously, while the measures that have been proposed in the Government's Bill will give renters a level of temporary protection, one of the big concerns many of us have is that they will build up significant rent arrears over that period and even if, for example, an emergency rent supplement payment is provided, which we are hearing could be the case,...

Eoin Ó Broin: Amendment No. 17 is to remove the section of the Bill that would deny people additional time to build up towards a Part 4 tenancy that is proposed in the Bill. I think other parties and Deputies support the principle that people living as tenants should be able to acquire those rights. I strongly support Deputy Bríd Smith on amendment No. 19. I raised this earlier and directly with...

Eoin Ó Broin: I will be brief. I support amendments Nos. 6 and 7, but I oppose amendment No. 8. While I agree completely with its intention, my genuine worry is that if, for some reason, the Oireachtas cannot meet in three months, then the proposed measures to protect renters will fall. While we may have a Government, my bigger worry is that we do not know what is going to happen with the pandemic. We...
