‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rent Allowances. Rent tribunals legislation
Summary
Allen argued that rent tribunals would be more humane than court proceedings and asked when legislation would be ready. The Minister said it would be before the House during the next session.
Has the Minister been in touch with the Department of the Environment on the question of rents tribunals? I ask the question because the rents tribunals would take the whole issue out of the courts system and would be a far more humane system whereby information could be passed on to the people who are being subjected to treatment that they should not be subjected to. When can we expect the legislation in that regard to be ready?
Comment on this
It would result in the saving of a lot of money by the Department of Social Welfare.
