Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The commitment in the programme for Government is very clear. We recognise the value and support this credit has provided. Over time, in the different budgets the Government will bring forward, we will seek to improve it, as will be the case with other important credits and tax reliefs. It has played a role in helping with the affordability of rents for many tenants. I agree with all the Deputy said in this regard. I am confident, as we bring budgets forward, that we will be able to make progress on the relief and support that it offers to those who are renting.
