Dail Éireann — 2020-03-26
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

I move amendment No. 19:
In page 9, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:
“(7) (a) Notwithstanding any of the provisions in this section, all proposed evictions in all tenancies in the State, including those not covered by the Act of 2004, are prohibited during the operation of the Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, this section applies to all Local Authority and Approved Housing body dwellings.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, all Travellers who are currently resident in any location should not during this crisis be evicted from that location except where movement is required to ameliorate hardship and provide protection and subject to consultation with the Travellers involved.”.
