Housing Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2024-09-19
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I am sorry. I strongly support the sentiments expressed by my colleague. I compliment the Minister and Ministers of State for the progress to date in what was a difficult and tall task in relation to housing generally.
The policies are working. However, there is a need for a fast kick forward at this time because a large number of people who have been renting for a long period and now find themselves, through no fault of their own, being issued with notices to quit are coming on the market. At this stage, we need the Minister and Ministers of State to examine the possibility of introducing something that applies specifically to persons in such emergency situations with a view to taking them out of the homeless market. They have done their best to alleviate their housing problems over the years and are now looking for assistance.
