Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

As I said, another overall review of rent limits will be undertaken in the middle of the year and in the meantime we will continually monitor the situation. The information that is available indicates that the rent limits can be worked as they currently exist. Obviously the rent limits will be reviewed on a national level in July.
