I move amendment No. 6:

In page 10, line 1, to insert the following new subsection:

"(1) The Minister shall, within three months of the commencement of this section, ensure that all rents the subject of this section shall be renegotiated to reflect existing market conditions.".

I welcome what the Minister said in respect of this matter on Second Stage. Amendment No. 8 states:

(1) The Minister shall, within three months of the commencement of this section, ensure that the Revenue Commissioners are notified of the details of all properties to which a payment under this section applies or shall apply in the future.

We are seeking that landlords and their properties should be registered and that they should pay tax at the correct rate. In other words, those who are set to gain the most should pay the tax.
