I want to tell the Taoiseach about a case facing a woman called Victoria. Victoria is renting in Cork at the minute. She has seven children, is a single mother and a survivor of domestic abuse. Two of her children have additional needs. After her landlord went to sell the property, Cork City Council engaged with the landlord under the tenant in situ scheme. On this understanding - the correct understanding, I would have said at the time in terms of funding - Cork City Council went sale agreed on the property in January with Victoria's landlord. They heard nothing until April, when the funding cut to the tenant in situ scheme became clear. Her notice to quit is this Friday, 30 May. As things stand, she will be looking at presenting to APS, the homeless service in Cork City Council, with her seven children. That did not need to happen. It did not need to get to that situation. Cork City Council would have operated on the basis that funding would have been forthcoming for purchases under the tenant in situ scheme. When will the Taoiseach ensure that funding is reinstated to assist families such as Victoria's, and prevent them from becoming homeless, which is the potential situation that they face this week?

Victoria's case should not have come to that-----

No.

----- because very substantial funding was allocated last year and this year, particularly with regard to a case of that priority. It is difficult to understand how that case could not have been accommodated above and beyond any other case.

The council expected that there would have been enough funding for the rest of the year.

Deputy, it is not a back and forth.

I am just making the point. I know the city council can prioritise, too. I know the Minister is engaging with the city council. I do not know the specifics of all cases-----

You understand perfectly, though.

Do not tell me the council is not in a position to resolve the case as it is presented now.

Are you serious?

Thank you, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Willie Aird.

Are you serious now with that response?

Yes. Very.

Deputy, please. I call Deputy Willie Aird.

That is ridiculous.

Very serious.

You know perfectly well.
