Evan and Nadia Kavanagh and their three children are renters in Clondalkin. They are now at imminent risk of homelessness due to overholding on their notice of termination since 6 September. The landlord wants to sell to the local authority and applied through the tenant in situ scheme. The application was being processed and the landlord was then informed in July that because the funding had been exhausted, the purchase could not continue. The family do not have enough time on the list to be eligible for a council allocation. They have a child with severe special needs, which means that emergency accommodation is not appropriate. They simply have nowhere to go. So frustrated are they that went public over the summer and spoke to the Irish Independent. Evan made it clear that he is a working family man. He has always played by the rules. He has never done anything dishonest. He said, "Now, when I needed the Government more than ever, I feel abandoned". Will the Government provide additional funding to local authorities for tenant in situ purchases where the local authorities have requested it?

The Minister has provided additional funding to local authorities.

Not for the tenant in situ scheme.

Some of it is for tenant in situ.

Deputy, it is not a back-and-forth. Taoiseach, you can take it back to the Minister.

I will bring the Deputy's case back to the Minister.

No additional funding has been provided for tenant in situ purchases.

Deputy Catherine Connolly.

It is just not correct, Taoiseach.
