Dail Éireann — 2021-03-25
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

Táim á dhéanamh sin. I must see where I was before I was interrupted. The new subsection 1A of section 12 applies as per paragraph (c) of that subsection to a notice of termination grounded on rent arrears and served on a tenant during the emergency period, specifying a termination date that falls on or after 13 April 2021 and before 13 July 2021, that is, during the three-month extension provided under this Bill. Paragraph (a) of the new subsection provides that subject to paragraph (b) of that subsection, if the tenant is protected by the PDRTA and subsection 1A applies in his or her case, the specified termination date shall be deemed to be 13 July 2021. This measure provides the benefit of the enhanced protections to relevant tenants until that date. Paragraph (b) of the new subsection 1A of section 12 provides that the PDRTA protections will cease to apply in relation to a relevant tenant and the protections under paragraph (a) shall also cease to apply ten days thereafter.
