I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 115 of 21 April 2011 which states:

As the Deputy will be aware, 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. That consultation will, of course, take account of all relevant factors which pertain to this matter.

The position is unchanged since then.
