Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

Amendments Nos. 9 to 14, inclusive, were discussed on Committee Stage. As I said on that occasion I see merit in what Deputy Ciarán Lynch has proposed but I do not propose to accept the amendments at this time. However, my Department is currently progressing a review of the Residential Tenancies Act and I have asked my officials to consider Deputy Lynch's proposals in the context of that review.
