I will raise a case from the heart of the Tánaiste's constituency in the Douglas-Grange area, of a family who has lived in a property with the support of the housing assistance payment, HAP, for nine years. It includes three children, of whom the youngest is five years old. The family has received a notice to quit and were to be out on 31 January. After some back and forth with the council, the council agreed to buy the property and at the last minute, similar to a case Deputy Doherty raised with the Tánaiste, the council pulled out due to a technical issue with the home. This is despite the fact the council has paid HAP on the property for years and the property passing two HAP inspections. Earlier, the Tánaiste stated the Government has the policy. It is not working. This family is more proof that it is not working. Will the Government reinstate the ban on evictions? What will the Government do? Where will this family go?

Individual cases can be raised on the floor of the House. I do not have any advance knowledge of particular cases Deputies are raising across the board. I know a scheme and facility is in place.

The Deputy should hear me out, please. I know the city council has engaged with many landlords in respect of buying properties under the tenant in situ scheme.

The Deputy has not outlined what the technical problem is or what the issue was in respect of this specific property. I will engage with the council about it to see if anything can be done.
