Housing Bill and anti-social behaviour

Summary

Róisín Shortall asks whether the forthcoming housing Bill will strengthen local authorities’ powers against anti-social behaviour by tenants. The Taoiseach expects publication next year and hopes it will address the problem.

-----is the long-promised housing Bill. When can we expect to have sight of the legislation? Will the Taoiseach confirm that it will make provision for strengthening the hand of local authorities in dealing with anti-social behaviour on the part of tenants? There is a lacuna in current legislation which badly needs to be filled.

The Bill is due for publication next year. The matter the Deputy raises is of particular importance and I hope the Bill will include measures to deal with it. This problem affects a number of areas of the country.
