NOTICE OF MOTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 140 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 2001

That this Council directs the Chief Executive to carry out the following actions at the earliest opportunity:

Suspend any changes to the Differential Rent Scheme, residential rent, or the implementation of an alternative scheme in respect of differential rents or method of calculating rent in respect of those in receipt of social housing support, until such time as the Executive concludes a consultation on the differential rent scheme, and not before the approval of the annual budget for 2027.

Said consultation should require the Executive to schedule briefings and explainers for council tenants and request written opinion from tenants’ unions and representative bodies such as CATU and the ICSH, and organisations with expertise in tenants’ rights such as Threshold, and those tackling poverty and inequality such as Social Justice Ireland, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and the St. Vincent DePaul and revert with same written opinions and reports from meetings with council tenants to the members as soon as practicable.
