Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-10-27
============================================================

Eileen Flynn (IND), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I move amendment No. 1:
In page 3, line 20, to delete “31 March 2023” and substitute “30 April 2023”.
Amendment No. 1 is a no-brainer. We are in Ireland, where the winter months are very cold. Unfortunately, that cold weather can extend the whole way to April. Instead of the deadline being 31 March 2023, we propose 30 April 2023. We all remember what happened to an Aldi store in Tallaght in the snow. That was in April. I raise this to remind people that it can be bitterly cold in Ireland during those months.
Amendment No. 2 seeks security for tenants and especially for the many Traveller families who live in Traveller-specific accommodation provided by local authorities.
