Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

We are anxious to do something about the poor quality accommodation and I am working with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government on that. As a result of the supply of rented accommodation some of it is of very good quality for people's €13 per week to date and €18 in future. The rent limit must be kept under review and I will re-examine it probably at the beginning of next year to ensure it is reasonable for people to be able to get accommodation in particular areas at particular rates.
