The Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is being debated in the Seanad this evening and the Dáil will review the Seanad amendments on Thursday. The process had been very messy and rushed, due to the Government’s foot-dragging. Nonetheless, we need the small measure of delaying rent reviews. Can the Taoiseach outline the remaining progress of the Bill through the Houses and when it will reach Final Stage, so it can be implemented as soon as possible? Landlords are increasing rents in anticipation of the Bill.
