Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-31
============================================================

Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 32:
In page 9, between lines 35 and 36, to insert the following:
“(c) where a tenant is at risk of homelessness having been served a notice for failure to comply with his or her obligations under the Act of 2004, provide the tenant concerned with such information in writing as will enable him or her to apply for assistance from the relevant local authority under the Housing Act 1988, including preventative measures to avoid entry into emergency accommodation. The Board shall have regard to the response of the local authority in assisting the tenant from entering emergency accommodation in any decision on the termination notice.”.
