Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."

I bring before the House, on behalf of the Labour Party, the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Review of Rent in Certain Cases)(Amendment) Bill 2010. I acknowledge the members in the Visitors Gallery representing 50 different retailers across the country with an employee base of over 15,000. I understand also that members of the trade union movement are in the Visitors Gallery. The joining of both groups in the Visitors Gallery demonstrates the concern that exists in the retail sector regarding this matter.

I wish to share my time with Deputies Penrose and Morgan.
