Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

During the Budget Statement, the Minister for Finance announced that the legislation that had been promised to deal with upward-only rent reviews - it is in the legislative programme - will not now be proceeded with. Will the Government publish the legal advice on which last week's decision was based? Does the Government intend to proceed in any way with changes that would give retailers and businesses some kind of relief from upward-only rent reviews, which are causing major distress for companies, in particular?
