Dermot Ahern: Deputy Flanagan put his finger on it when he said that while there might be sympathy around the House for the plight of people in existing contractual arrangements, sympathy does not put bread on the table.

Dermot Ahern: In public life, as a Minister and when I was not one, I have always been of the view that one should not hoodwink the public because people are not fools.

Dermot Ahern: I am responding to the representations and points validly made. When I set out to change the law in this respect, I did so on the basis that some traders are having grave difficulty in meeting the rent for commercial premises they leased at the top of the market, of which all Members are aware in their constituencies. It is important the House sends out a strong signal to the market, and...

Dermot Ahern: That is why I wanted it to be dealt with before the summer holidays.
