Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael)

I refer to the residential tenancies (amendment) Bill, which I have referred to in this House before. I am privileged to represent the constituency of Dublin Central and within it is a large amount of private housing that is rented. A small minority of the housing stock is causing great difficulty to landlords, tenants and residents living nearby, because of difficulty in regulating who is renting it out, who is staying in it and how to compel a landlord to do something about a property that is becoming derelict. I would appreciate if the Taoiseach can clarify when the promised legislation will be before the House.
