Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. We have brought in stronger legislation to protect tenants. We have also provided additional resources to the Residential Tenancies Board to ensure those rights are enforced. I have not heard before of a landlord charging for a parking space as a way to get around HAP. That is an interesting and rather devious approach. I am not sure whether it is legal or not. I will check that out because if it is not legal, we would need to take action on that.
