Kevin Humphreys (Dublin South East, Labour)

On proposed legislation, in my area there is a huge demand for rented accommodation in apartments. The residential tenancy (amendment) Bill is on the A list. Will the Tánaiste indicate when that Bill will be published? Will he also indicate if there will be protection for deposits in that legislation for people renting apartments, mainly in urban areas? That was a huge problem previously with students but the people coming to work in what has been tagged "Silicon Dock" are discovering that when they try to move on they cannot get their deposits back. Will the Tánaiste indicate now when the Bill will be published?
