I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 166 of 29 March 2011. As the Deputy notes, the Programme for Government indicates that legislation will be introduced to end upward only rent reviews for existing leases. I am in consultation with the Attorney General with a view to progressing this matter as expeditiously as possible.
