Residential Tenancies Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-03-29
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

Just because the Senator keeps saying it does not make it true. It is not only us who are saying this. Threshold and the Simon Communities of Ireland have said that section 2 of the Bill is punitive, unnecessary and will lead to the loss of accommodation and to homelessness. Sin é. I appeal to the Chair. We should discuss and focus on the amendments before us in line with Standing Orders. I will not labour the point because we only have an hour and a half for this Bill, but I will press for a vote on amendment No. 1.
