- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2018: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: I want to finish because this is an important engagement, and we would like to see more of it. The reason we are supportive of this in principle is that if one looks at what is happening with the rent index, it is clear that a very large number of landlords are either availing of exemptions, correctly or incorrectly, or breaking the rules, and it cannot be left to tenants, particularly...
