The report deals with new lettings and existing tenants are not affected. Obviously, the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government will keep this matter under continuous monitoring. As the Deputy is aware, he expanded the rent pressure zones substantially in the recent past. No doubt he will take into account the impact of new lettings in places like Drogheda on existing tenants and keep that under review. I thank the Deputy for raising the matter.
