I want to ask about the progress on rent controls. I take the opportunity to ask the Minister to comment on Monday night's RTE programme on the housing crisis. On rent controls, we are finding that there are rent increases in areas just outside the designated local electoral areas. I notice the Minister designated a further 12 local electoral areas in January, and Cobh and Maynooth were added to the pressure zones last month. However, the pressure zones themselves are causing pressures on other areas. To what extent does the Minister monitor progress on it?
