Episode 1 : Congratulations đ to Neasa Hourigan TD – Green Party, Dublin Central – votes against FFFGGG Coalition Residential Tenancies Bill – Episode 2 : Neasa Backtracks!
Excellent News!đââď¸ Well done đ Neasa Hourigan TD Dublin Central.
Hopefully a case of 1 Green deputy down, 11 to go.
There were 12 green bottlesđž sitting đŞ on the wall,
and if 1 green bottle đžshould accidentally fall,
There were 11 green bottles đžâŚ.
âThe Dublin Central TD voted against the Bill as a whole after 6pm, which could lead to her being stripped of the whip by her party.
Another Green Party TD abstained in the final vote.
There was criticism this week that the Bill was not discussed at the Cabinet sub-committee on housing, which only met today for the first time. â
The abstaining Green TD was Junior Minister Joe OâBrien, Dublin Fingal.
âWow! Well done to the Green TD with the courage to vote against government on the Residential tenancies and valuation bill 2020.
This bill is:
A. Not included in the pfg
B. Not in line with green party policy
C. Completely immoral and unjust in the context of a housing crisis pic.twitter.com/WaYDP90AKd

âThe bill is not contained in the programme for government.
Sinn Fein has also put down an amendment that would ensure that no notice to quit can be placed on grounds of a landlord seeking vacant possession to sell a property during the emergency period.
The Green Party manifesto committed to a ban on evictions due to sale.
Legal advice received by the Simon Communities states the original ban was brought in as a response to a public health crisis, which is not yet over.
The dissent in government ranks will raise alarm bells for Fianna FĂĄil and Fine Gael. https://www.thejournal.ie/neasa-hourigan-rent-vote-5163999-Jul2020/
