International Protection
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-02
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

That sounds positive and I will relay back what the Minister is saying but why bring problems upon or put extra pressure on himself or discommode these people and the local community when it is not necessary? Hopefully, that solution will work. I know that in terms of contacting the Department of Social Protection about rent supplement, that has not been fully processed. Perhaps the Minister could do something about that. I am not sure what the compliance issues were. The owner of the property said that it was more than willing to engage and neither the owner or I is really sure what the compliance issues were because it has fire certification. There are unanswered questions. I take the positives from what the Minister said and will tell the residents to contact the unit referred to by the Minister. Can I take it from this that there is no looming deadline on 7 October and if we can work something out, they will be able to stay where they are?
