I asked the Minister of State a parliamentary question about the PRTB study which will be published at the end of this month. Like the Minister of State, I would prefer rent controls because the sector could be more adequately served. We need a housing policy that guarantees everyone access to a home and not a case of whether the markets can build so many houses or apartments over five years or whether the State can find the money to build housing. I would welcome a discussion on rent controls so that they could be introduced quite quickly.
