Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Notwithstanding the Multi-Unit Developments Act, which was passed by the last Dáil, there remain a number of problems with multi-unit developments. Is it possible to indicate when the residential tenancies (amendment) Bill will be introduced? It will have widespread implications, as well as enabling the House to have a discussion on it.

The companies (amendment) Bill is my favourite and a favourite of the Ceann Comhairle. I asked about the Bill for about ten years when the previous Administration was in power. For ten years, the previous Government ignored it.
