Questions raised over lack of detail on government’s tenant-in-situ scheme, while TD stands firm on eviction ban stance. Councils verifying validity of eviction notices.

The Irish Government’s tenant-in-situ scheme, which aims to protect tenants from eviction by allowing them to buy their homes while they continue to live in them, has come under fire for its lack of resources and detail. Critics argue that the scheme does not provide enough support and funding for tenants to participate effectively, and that it may not be an effective way to address the housing crisis in Ireland. Meanwhile, Carlow Kilkenny FG TD John Paul Phelan has defended the Government’s eviction ban, arguing that it is necessary to protect vulnerable tenants during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Kilkenny County Council is currently investigating the validity of a number of notices to quit issued to Clare tenants, while new figures show that landlords issued more than 4,300 notices to quit in the final quarter of 2022. Critics suggest that the Government should do more to address the root causes of the housing crisis, such as the lack of affordable housing and the shortage of social housing.
