Residential Tenancies and Valuation Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-31
============================================================

Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 38:
In page 3, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following:
“WHEREAS the Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020 resulted in a significant reduction in the number of adults and children both presenting and entering emergency homeless accommodation, which in turn played a significant role in reducing the Covid-19 infection rate among residents of emergency accommodation, this should remain an objective of Government that must be sustained until such time as the risk of infection of Covid-19 in congregated residential emergency accommodation settings is reduced significantly;”.
