Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I may be wrong on that. Regarding a ground rents Bill, we have had several legislative changes to the Landlord And Tenant (Ground Rents) Act 1967 over the past 25 years, and the legal advice for a considerable number of years has been that it is probably not possible to go further in the area. I am not totally familiar with all the arguments on all sides, but the Deputy can table a question to the Minister. However, it is not possible, outside the four or five Acts in which we have made changes, to find a way to make further progress. That has been the position to date.
