I am happy with the Minister's response as well. In respect of a definition of "deposit", my amendment No. 12 defines the term as "howsoever described, being money payable on entering into an agreement for the tenancy of a dwelling and intended to be held as security for the performance of any obligations, and the discharge of any liabilities, of the tenant under or in connection with the tenancy." My great assistant, Finbarr O'Malley, drafted that. He is very good at these things. I have no problem if the Minister wants to use that definition. Either way, I welcome the fact that the Minister will look at this again. It is important.
