Eoghan Murphy (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have discussed this before. Guidelines were issued in the course of last year. I said that if those guidelines need to be put into legislation, I will do that. Earlier this week, I brought heads of a Bill to protect tenants. Some new protections are coming in very quickly. If further legislation is needed, I have indicated that a second Bill is coming for the rental market later in the year. If the guidelines need to be put into law, we will do that at that time. We await the outcome of certain processes before the courts.
