Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (8 May 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: I thank Deputy Broughan for his amendments. Unfortunately, I cannot accept them because the intention of sections 19 and 20 of the Bill is to provide the RTB with the power to charge a fee for its mediation service, although I understand that the RTB does not plan to use this new power in the short or medium term. I agree that there is merit in continuing to encourage the use of the free...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (8 May 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: I thank Deputy O' Sullivan for her amendment. As I said on Committee Stage, I wanted to do this. I wanted to have a rent register to provide rent transparency on individual properties. I had a very robust back and forth discussion with the Attorney General's office on this. The strong advice that came back was that I could not do this, that it would not be legally sound for me to pursue...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (8 May 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: Yes, I did want it by individual property but after a number of engagements with the Attorney General, I cannot proceed down that path.

Once that data is collected and that becomes the new...

Eoghan Murphy: We debate housing in this House every week, as we should. We have had the Second Stage debate on this Bill. We have had two Committee Stage debates and we are now on Report Stage.

Deputy Boyd Barrett is right to...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (8 May 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: I will speak on amendments Nos. 13 to 15, inclusive. If the change proposed in amendment No. 13 was implemented, it would unravel the structure of the 2004 Act, which is built around the concept of the security of tenure protection applying only for the six-year duration of the Part 4 or the further Part 4 tenancy cycles. It is the Government's policy to move towards tenancies of indefinite...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (8 May 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: It is important to note when one looks through every section of the Bill that it is composed of new measures to help and protect tenants. Some of the big criticisms of the Bill have come from landlords who say it is all pro-tenant and there is nothing in it for them. Big changes are coming in terms of new qualifying criteria for rent pressure zones and the Bill closes some of the perceived...
