Tyrrelstown amendment commencement
Deputy Jan O’Sullivan asked when Part 3 of the housing and residential tenancies legislation, including the Tyrrelstown amendment, would commence. The Taoiseach said the measure would take effect once the Minister signed the commencement order later that day.
I wish to ask about the commencement of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill which went through both Houses of the Oireachtas before Christmas. I am sure the Taoiseach will be able to answer me because the Minister, Deputy Coveney, has made a public statement on it. In particular, I wish to know about Part 3 which deals with the Tyrrelstown amendment. It is very welcome that The Strand apartment dwellers in Limerick have got a reprieve but others will not be protected until Part 3 of the legislation is commenced. Does the Taoiseach have clarity on this?
