Cork family sheriff eviction
Deputy McGrath raises a Cork family’s threatened eviction and challenges the sheriff’s powers under the conveyancing legislation. The Ceann Comhairle repeatedly rules the matter out of order and directs him to raise it elsewhere.
In his reply to an earlier question, the Minister said that the people of Ireland were hurting. I want to raise an issue under the finance (no.2) Bill. It is about a family in County Cork.

I have the sheriff's notice here that threatens to evict the family.

Under the conveyancing Act of 2009, the sheriff's powers were abandoned. I have the sheriff's eviction notice here in my hand. If that is the hurt the Labour Party feels, it is very sad.

It is on the Order of Business. The conveyancing Act of 2009 dismissed the power of the sheriff. How is the new sheriff in Cork - a newly appointed lady sheriff - intimidating families like this?

These people are hurting from the powers allowed by this Government. The Labour Party-----
