Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Will the Deputy put some of those questions in writing to me? My understanding is that student accommodation is covered by the limitations to increases within rent pressure zones. If that is not being abided by, we will have to look into it. I am not familiar with the individual case in Galway referred to by the Deputy but even if a premises has been renovated, that does not mean it is a new rental premises; it just means it has been renovated. If the Deputy sends on the individual details I will take a look at it to make sure they are abiding by the rules.
