Last week, Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh may have covered with members the full rental market review we are doing. We are looking at this issue as part of the review. As the Deputy knows, and this was supported across the Houses, we have reduced the level of deposit that landlords can charge. Students are covered within the measure also. We expect to publish documentation for public consultation around the rental market review. This examines what a rental market in Ireland should look like in an ideal world. It also looks at the measures we can take including security of deposit. That will appear in be in the coming weeks.
