Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 May 2019)

Fintan Warfield: I thank the Minister of State and his officials for facilitating our requests for meetings. I might seek further clarity in writing on amendment No. 2. I ask the Minister of State to consider the goodwill that we have given the Bill. I urge him to be a champion for the digital deposit scheme as it needs a champion in Government. Our national institutions, particularly the National Library...

This issue was raised with me by Councillor Michael Frick Murphy and by Deputy Ó Laoghaire. Rent pressure zones were applied to city council areas,...

Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (15 May 2019)

Fintan Warfield: Given the scale of what we have to do, I will not press the amendment. It would be helpful if the departmental officials could make themselves available to me and the councillors who will be elected in a few weeks. This situation seems to be unique in the State.

Fintan Warfield: I move amendment No. 10:In page 11, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:“(2) For the purposes of this section, where an electoral area, which was changed or created by the 2018 revision of local electoral areas, and contains areas which were previously in an electoral area which was a rent pressure zone, the new electoral area shall be deemed in its entirety a rent...

Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (15 May 2019)

Fintan Warfield: I will not rehash what Senator Ruane has articulated as we are largely coming from the same position, although with a different timeframe. I am not sure what the Minister is saying about families. Of course one would seek to put one's extended family in need into that home, but not if it meant evicting another family. That home is still an asset one has and a source of income one could use...

Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (15 May 2019)

Fintan Warfield: While having a rental property and being able to use it to house a family member is a positive notion, there are certain tax relief measures on renting to family members already in statute. However, there should be no motivation to displace families, or tenants either. If the Minister is not willing to accept amendment No. 16, then amendment No. 17 could be a reasonable one. Shall I speak...

Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (15 May 2019)

Fintan Warfield: We welcome the extensions to notice to quit periods, however a proposed continuation of a 28-day notice to quit period for tenancies of six months or less is inadequate. Any Senator or Member of the other House who runs a constituency office will have come across families who have been given these notices and have 28 days to find suitable accommodation. I will leave it there, but I call on...

Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (15 May 2019)

Fintan Warfield: I move amendment No. 23:In page 33, to delete lines 16 to 31. The amendment proposes to delete the requirement for sanctions to be confirmed by the Circuit Court. This requirement only leads to a backlog. It also creates an unnecessary administrative burden on the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, and the courts. Last night we discussed the delays and possible consequences and scenarios...
