The programme for Government committed to providing greater security for our tenants in the private rented sector. Those commitments are proving hollow for a group of tenants whose position I have raised on multiple occasions and who are now reaching the crunch point in a multi-unit apartment complex, St. Helen's Court, Dún Laoghaire, where a vulture fund, for no other reason than to increase the value of that property, are evicting the remaining tenants. The fund is taking them to court in the first week of February. These tenants have always paid their rent, are decent working people, have done absolutely nothing wrong and are terrified at the prospect that they are going to be made homeless. I am very worried about the mental health and well-being of some of these tenants, some of whom are elderly and unwell and the Government has nothing to offer them to date. I have raised this issue with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Taoiseach and I am raising it with the Tánaiste now because I am very worried about the well-being of these tenants. That vulture fund has been sitting on 12 empty apartments in the same complex for two years and will not even rent them to those tenants.

I appreciate that the Deputy has raised this issue with me in the past but I am not familiar with the details of the situation. I will certainly let the Minister, Deputy Darragh O’Brien, know that the Deputy has raised it again to see if he can contact the Deputy directly on the issue.
