I thank Deputy Coppinger for the question. On her initial point about protections for renters, earlier this year, we enacted the most substantial reform for protecting tenants that has been enacted since we brought in rent controls in the first place. Implementing those protections had the support of a majority of this House because they are so important.

The specific case that the Deputy talked about sounds disgusting and a horrible thing for someone to have to go through. It is absolutely a criminal matter for the Garda. I hope it has been addressed in that way.
