Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour) | Oireachtas source

In July I asked the Taoiseach about the tenancy deposit protection scheme. It was to be operated by the Residential Tenancies Board. We enacted legislation in the House to bring that about. Subsequent to my raising this with the Taoiseach I received a letter from the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, stating that the matter was to be reviewed again. I do not know why we cannot simply implement the legislation we have. When does the Government intend to provide protection for tenants' deposits, as the House required, and enforce the legislation that we have enacted?
