Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, Socialist Party) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Minister to report on his reported meeting with the Irish Property Owners Association and, in view of rising rents and the homeless crisis, the plans to address the rent crisis affecting people. I understand reference was made at the Labour Party conference to something approaching rent controls but referred to as rent certainty. The Minister might provide more detail on that. Does he have any plans to increase the rights of tenants because the absence of a legal framework providing security of tenure for tenants is a major factor? There has also been some discussion on the tax treatment of rental income.
