I refer to rents. I am glad to see that common sense has prevailed in the Dáil and that the Bill will be debated later today and tomorrow. My area, Limerick city, has not been included, but I would have liked it to have been. I have spoken to the Minister, Deputy Coveney, about the matter. He has agreed that it would be prioritised. There is a long way to go. We do not always need to talk to Fianna Fáil; we can actually talk among ourselves.

The Residential Tenancies Board has been charged with providing evidence. I have asked the Minister to fast-track the evidence. I hope Limerick city will be included quite quickly and that the timeframe in terms of other areas would be virtually coterminous.
