An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-09
============================================================

Lisa Chambers (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

That is huge money. That is not acceptable. A nominal fee is fine to ensure that people are not putting frivolous submissions in but that is too expensive. It should not be that level of money. We will request that debate at the earliest opportunity. I am not sure if we can invite the NTA in as such; it might be the Minister. There may be other mechanisms through the Seanad in terms of public consultation that we might be able to work with to engage with the NTA directly.
Senator Ahearn spoke about rent relief measures for renters, that is the one €1,000 or two €500 credits. I was not aware of the loophole if one is residing with the landlord - owner-occupier tenancies are quite normal.
