Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

If one builds apartments, one must build them all before one can sell them. It is different than the traditional activity of building 100 houses and selling them on as one goes, making a profit and continuing on with that.

The rental strategy will be in place before Christmas. We had a Cabinet sub-committee meeting just this week. The Minister, Deputy Coveney, is working very hard to introduce it and I hope that everybody will give his or her views. We need security for the tenants. We also need responsibility for the landlords and longer term leases so that people can have that sense of security for the time ahead.
