Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Right to Purchase) Bill: Discussion

Mr. Patrick Davitt:

I think it is unfortunate that we are talking about two sides of this Bill. Ms O'Reilly addressed that a few moments ago. There are only the couple of sides we are talking about, namely, the landlords and the tenants, but there is a whole dose of different things from the RTB and different recommendations. I do not believe personally that this will affect the many people buying properties at the moment. It is going to give rights where rights are not needed because this is happening already.
