Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

In March, the Tánaiste stated the Government would introduce legally sound legislation to protect tenants and this morning it was announced that the entire county of Louth would be designated a rent pressure zone. This will give little protection to people struggling to find accommodation or to tenants trying to hold on to their homes. The average rental cost for Louth is €1,206, which is an increase of 7.6% since last year and an increase of 44% since the Government took office. Will the Minister outline to us the legally sound legislation the Government will bring forward and if it will include a rent freeze and tax credit for renters?
