Topical Issue Debate: Upward-Only Rent Reviews (26 Mar 2013)

Dara Calleary: We did, actually. We brought forward the legislation. The Minister was very vocal in opposition on so many issues, including this one.

On this occasion he should be conscious that it is not only me who is...

Topical Issue Debate: Upward-Only Rent Reviews (26 Mar 2013)
