Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Ní bheidh mé ach bomaite, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. This week in the Seanad, the Government introduced legislation to amend the Residential Tenancies Act. The Government is happy enough to change its rental strategy whenever it suits. The Government could table an amendment to the Bill in the Seanad that would put a halt to the spiralling rents. I invite the Government to do so. If the Government is not going to do that, will the Taoiseach simply say that he will not do it?
