On the landlord and tenant Bill in the legislative programme published yesterday, and on the PRTB, this is freshers' week and already in Cork city this week we have seen bedlam caused by students engaging in excessive alcohol intake, causing huge disruption in neighbourhoods. The Taoiseach mentioned a public health Bill and it is important the Government fast-tracks that but there should be parallel provision in the landlord and tenant Bill to give more powers to ordinary residents, as opposed to landlords, who have disproportionate influence with the PRTB.
