I appreciate the protection. The landlord there tried to jack up the rent by an enormous amount. It would have meant the rent increasing from €2,200 to €2,800, which is shocking. The fact that the rent was €2,200 in the first instance is just shocking, and the landlord was going to increase it to €2,800. It was affecting dozens of young people, many of them students and some of them young workers working in Sandyford. They were absolutely distraught.

Because of the publicity the protest received, the company decided to back off but the loophole was clearly there and it was acting within its legal rights. Is the Minister's proposal going to prevent this kind of thing?
