I agree with Senator Boyhan. This amendment is definitely one of the most important and I fully support it. I agree with the rewording suggested by Deputy Ó Broin.

I am genuinely surprised and quite worried that the Government is opposed to the amendment. I would have thought that there would be a consensus that affordable rental should actually be affordable. There is a general consensus outside of these Chambers.
