Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

Residents in Glovers Court flat complex, which is very close to here, have a visible protest highlighting neglect by Dublin City Council and the shocking conditions in which families have to live. Right across Dublin's inner city, residents are living in rat-infested conditions. Dublin City Council has failed in its responsibility to tenants. There is no independent arbitrator to whom residents can bring Dublin City Council. That, in my view, means that the Government needs to step in and ensure that the council does what it needs to do to address the many outstanding maintenance issues. Will the Tánaiste ensure that the council lives up to the duty of care it has to the tenants of its flat complexes?
