An Act, to make exceptional
provision, in the public interest and having regard to the manifest and grave risk
to human
life and public health posed by the spread of the disease known as Covid-19; in order
to
mitigate, where practicable, the effect of the spread of that disease and to limit
the
adverse consequences resulting, or likely to result from the spread of that disease;
and
having regard to the burden caused by that risk to the normal functioning of society;
and
recognising the likelihood that necessary restrictions imposed in order to reduce
that
spread and its effect on society will impede the ability of tenants to find alternative
accommodation and the consequent impact on the well-being of persons and families
and on
the availability of vital public service functions in relation to housing; to make
provision in relation to the operation of certain provisions of the
Residential Tenancies
Act 2004
during a period of restrictions imposed upon travel to, from or within
certain geographical locations pursuant to regulations under section 31A of the
Health Act
1947
; and to provide for related matters.
