The Programme for Government indicates that legislation will be introduced to end upward only rent reviews for existing business leases. Following on from an initial consultation process with the Attorney General, I have forwarded outline proposals to her for further examination and development. Those proposals have already been the subject of preliminary discussion by Government. The Legislative Programme indicates that the relevant legislation will be published during the current Dail session.
