The Taoiseach talks about jobs. I got a message from someone in my own constituency who said he was closing up and jobs would be lost because of upward-only rent reviews. The Taoiseach will probably say that there is nothing he can do about it, but does he know that the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine is applying the upward-only rent review? That Department is putting that person and others out of a job. Regardless of any legal advice, this State has individuals and businesses tied into upward-only rent reviews. I have a full list of them in my office and will pass them on to the Taoiseach if he wants.
