Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Jun 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: With respect to amendment No. 12, I will pick up a point Deputy Cian O'Callaghan made which I think is quite important.

Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Jun 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: With the discretion of the Chair, I will speak to it amendment No. 13 and I will move it when we reach the section. The purpose of my amendment No. 10 is to deal with the issue we spoke about a moment ago, the 8% increase. The 8% or 12% increase was not an accident or the result of a loophole.
