Anti-social behaviour statutory instrument

Summary

Robert Troy asks for the statutory instrument enabling local authorities to act against persistently antisocial tenants, but cannot identify it precisely and receives no substantive answer.

Seán Barrett An Ceann Comhairle Fine Gael

I call Deputy Troy.

Comment on this

I did not think I was going to be late until the time expired. I have repeatedly asked the Taoiseach about a statutory instrument from the Department of Justice and Equality. It is very unfair that local authorities throughout the country which are waiting for the statutory instrument to enable them to deal with tenants who persistently engage in anti-social behaviour are being left-----

Which one is it?

Comment on this

I do not know the exact name of the statutory instrument. I am sure the Taoiseach will know which one it is.

How does the Deputy expect the Taoiseach to answer his question if he does not know the name of it?
