Prayer. 28/04/2021A00100Residential Tenancies (Student Rents and Other Protections) (Covid-19) Bill 2021: Sec- ond Stage [Private Members] 28/04/2021A00200Deputy Eoin Ó Broin: I move: “That the Bill be now read a Second Time�” Deputies will know that last year, during the second lockdown, many universities moved to remote learning and, as a consequence, students who had prepaid for student accommoda- tion or were in student accommodation in or near campus had to vacate their licences early� As students do not have the same protections under the Residential Tenancies Act as other rent- ers when it comes to exiting licence agreements early, many students and their families were significantly out of pocket. There is a widespread practice of students being required to pay rent for three, six and in some cases the full nine months in advance of taking up their student accommodation� That meant thousands of families across the State lost substantial sums of money because there was no requirement for student landlords to repay those moneys� Many of these families had been hit very hard by Covid� Some were on the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP, or the wage subsidy scheme and were, therefore, experiencing hardship. The loss of €3,000, €6,000 or €9,000 was a great financial blow for the families in question� If these had been standard private rented tenancies, the tenants could have given a 28-day notice. They would have forgone the first four weeks’ rent but they would have been refunded any rent paid beyond that period� At the time, the Union of Students in Ireland, USI, rightly complained students were not be- ing given fair play� The USI contacted both the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and Opposition housing spokespersons urging us to change the law to give students the protections they so rightly deserve� I am aware the Minister met the USI and he has always engaged constructively with it on these and related matters� I and other Opposition politicians did likewise� Those engagements on the Opposition side led to the Bill before us today� It is a USI Bill; it was designed and led by the USI� The Bill has the support of 56 Opposition Depu- ties who have co-signed it� I believe others who have not signed it will also support it� 159 Dáil Éireann The Office of Parliamentary Legal Advisers provided considerable assistance on the Bill and we thank OPLA staff for their work on it. The Bill does three very simple things, two of which are Covid-19 related protections and one is a permanent change to the protections for students� First, if a student in student accommodation is forced to leave that accommodation early because of future Covid-19 restrictions, he or she would be able, as all other tenants are, to give a 28-day notice and get refunded for any additional rent paid in advance beyond that notice period� Likewise, if a student is not able to take up pre-booked accommodation due to Covid-19 restrictions, he or she will be able to issue a 28-day notice to exit that licence early and be fully refunded for any additional rent paid in advance beyond the notice period� These are fair and eminently sensible changes� Landlords would

  • The Story of a House Kevin Casey
    The Story of a House Kevin Casey Everything we know about Nathaniel Clements suggests that he was an archetypal Ascendancy man. Eighteenth century Dublin was a good place in which to be young, rich and of the ruling class. The Treaty of Limerick - the event that marked the beginning of the century as definitively as the Act of Union ended it - provided a minority of the population, the Ascendancy, with status, influence and power. Penal Laws, imposed upon Roman Catholics and Dissenters, made it impossible for them to play an active part in Government or to hold an office under the Crown. Deprived of access to education and burdened with rigorous property restrictions, they lived at, or below, subsistence level, alienated from the ruling class and supporting any agitation that held hope of improving their lot. Visitors to the country were appalled by what they saw: "The poverty of the people as I passed through the country has made my heart ache", wrote Mrs. Delaney, the English wife of an Irish Dean. "I never saw greater appearance of misery." Jonathan Swift provided an even more graphic witness: "There is not an acre of land in Ireland turned to half its advantage", he wrote in 1732, "yet it is better improved than the people .... Whoever travels this country and observes the face of nature, or the faces and habits and dwellings of the natives, will hardly think himself in a land where law, religion or common humanity is professed." For someone like Nathaniel Clements, however, the century offered an amalgam of power and pleasure.

Sr. Sheila has given an invaluable contribution since her arrival to the school in 1986. The school was then known as 'Immaculate Heart Secondary School' and under Sr. Sheila's stewardship the Presentation school has gone from strength to strength. The following article with extracts taken from the school newsletter shows the great respect there was for Sr. Sheila from teachers and students. Trustee Support Day for Chairpersons of CEIST School Boards of Management CEIST invited our School Board of Management Chairpersons to a Trustee support day on Saturday 19th May in the Sheraton Hotel, Athlone, Co. Westmeath. After registration and coffee, CEIST CEO, Anne Kelleher welcomed all attendees and started the day with an opening prayer followed by an acknowledgement and appreciation to all Boards of Management for their hard work and voluntary service. The Directors of each department in CEIST gave a presentation on the day, which provided helpful material and support mechanisms for our Chairpersons. It was encouraging to see the very lively and interactive discussion that took place during the open forum, with a number of topics discussed such as Social Media intrusions into school and community life. It is hoped that the support day from the Trust was both enjoyable and beneficial for the Chairpersons.
