Eoin Ó Broin: What an utter shambles. In my entire time in Dáil Éireann, I have never witnessed a more haphazard, ramshackle, back-of-the-envelope process for putting in place widespread reforms that are going to impact tens of thousands of people.

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages (18 Jun 2025)
