Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (11 Apr 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: I, too, welcome the amendments and thank the Minister and his staff for providing a great deal of detail in the various amendments. Amendment No. 11 in my name is virtually the same as amendment No. 5 in the Minister's name. I will not push my amendment. In any event, I do not think any of us will want to push our own amendments because we want there to be a solution. I pay tribute to the...

Jan O'Sullivan: Students who have been staying in a particular residence may want to stay for the following academic year. I am concerned there might be some pressure on them to sign up to that old rule. I presume that will all be clarified by way of information anyway.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (11 Apr 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: I share the concerns that have been expressed already on the capacity of the AHB sector to deal with this. I support those who have said it has to be as simple as possible to reregister. There was a time when Limerick County Council encouraged the small AHBs in villages to provide for elderly people with crescent-shaped places for the elderly in the village to live in and to receive...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (11 Apr 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: My amendment No. 12 is included in this group. It is similar to Deputy Catherine Martin's amendment No. 8. Its purpose is to limit deposits to just one month's rent. We all know of situations where landlords have asked for two or even three month's rent in advance. That excludes people who do not have that amount of ready cash. I included this in a previous Bill and I would the Minister...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (11 Apr 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: I am happy with the Minister's response as well. In respect of a definition of "deposit", my amendment No. 12 defines the term as "howsoever described, being money payable on entering into an agreement for the tenancy of a dwelling and intended to be held as security for the performance of any obligations, and the discharge of any liabilities, of the tenant under or in connection with the...

Jan O'Sullivan: I move amendment No. 10: In page 6, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following: “Copy of notice of termination to be served on board 3. Section 6 of the Act of 2004 is amended by inserting the following after subsection (6): “(7) Where a notice required to be served on or given to a tenant by a landlord by or under this Act is a notice of termination of the tenancy,...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (11 Apr 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: Amendment No. 10 is fairly simple. It provides that where notice is served, the Residential Tenancies Board is given a copy of the notice. The intention is to facilitate early intervention to prevent people from becoming homeless. I think the Minister has a similar amendment. He referred to it in his press statement, anyway. The provision is that the board would be informed when somebody...

Jan O'Sullivan: The Minister of State must ignore them. We want to hear what he is saying.

Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Direct Election of Mayor Plebiscite Regulations 2019: Motion (10 Apr 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: As a public representative of one of the three cities concerned, I am very worried about the lack of time to debate this issue. I raised this point when we debated the proposals themselves. My concern is they will be lost because of the points already made that the focus so far has largely been on the money, that is, on the salaries. The Minister of State spoke on my local radio station a...
