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

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

I reiterate, and as Senator Fitzpatrick has said, this Bill has been set out to do a specific piece of work, which is to implement a temporary ban on evictions. There is no intention, or any inference otherwise, that it is discriminatory against any particular community. It is a general protection for tenants and tries to strike a balance between tenant and landlord.
I gave a commitment to the Senator on the circular that will be issued to local authorities which, in particular, will recognise the vulnerability, specifically, of the Traveller community.
