Micheál Martin: The Deputies are so dismissive of the reality of what is happening in many parts of this world. We had to get Irish citizens out of Sudan and Afghanistan and that is going to increase. Unfortunately, there will be more war situations so we will have evacuation-----

Micheál Martin: -----in terms of primary care, community care and acute setting, it needs a more rigorous analysis than simply saying more numbers will change things and resolve the issue; not necessarily is the point I am making.

Cian O'Callaghan: The Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, rent index makes grim reading for renters and is yet another confirmation of what we already know: rents are out of control and there are no upper limits. Someone looking to rent will have to pay €369 per month more than when the Government took office. Last year, rents in existing tenancies rose by 4.5% in Dublin city, 5% in Cork city, 5.4% in...

Micheál Martin: I do not doubt the Deputy's commitment to the housing issue, but he presented a narrative that is almost wholly negative, as if nothing was happening in housing or house building. He omitted to say that in quarter 4 last year, rents had not just stabilised but very modestly came down. He is looking at the annualised figures, which may indicate the increased supply of last year and the year...

Micheál Martin: -----social homes were added to the social housing stock in quarter 4 2023. Last year also saw the highest level of new-build social homes since 1975: 8,100 homes, or 12,000 social homes delivered in total if leasing and acquisition and so forth are taken into account. There is a strong pipeline of 22,500 social homes. That is the way to deal with the rental issue. We simply have to...

Cian O'Callaghan: I asked the Tánaiste two simple questions about the rent regulation law being broken and he did not reply. I ask him to reply to those. The countries in Europe with the largest rental sectors also have strict rent regulation that is enforced and very good security of tenure for renters. In contrast, Ireland has some of the highest rents in Europe, very poor security of tenure for...

Micheál Martin: The law is being applied and we have legislated for tenancies of unlimited duration, restricted the level of upfront payments required of tenants and legislated to increase the notice-to-quit period for tenancies of three years' duration or less. The minimum notice a landlord must give a tenant of less than three years' duration has been increased from 28 days to three months. Changes to...
