Promises were made before the last election and in the programme for Government to address an area requiring legislation that would protect jobs. Accessorize and Monsoon will close ten of 18 stores-----

Deputy-----

There is a reason behind this.

That may be so but to what legislation is the Deputy speaking?

There are 269 jobs at risk.

The Deputy should resume his seat.

I will refer to two pieces of legislation.

Please switch off the Deputy's microphone.

I will outline the two pieces of legislation, if the Ceann Comhairle bears with me.

Just one question, a Cheann Comhairle.

I allowed the Deputy to raise a Topical Issue matter today and he could have used the time to raise this matter. He is not having two bites of the cherry.

This is not a case of having two bites of the cherry. The landlord and tenant Bill is one promised piece of legislation, with the other being the land conveyancing Bill.

When will we have the landlord and tenant Bill?

Does the Government intend to have a referendum to deal with upward only rent reviews? We will have referendums in the autumn, which would be an ideal time to have a referendum to deal with the issue. The advice of the Attorney General to the Government has not been published so nobody can understand why the Government-----

Resume your seat. When will the Bill be before the House?

-----does not want to comply with the programme for Government.

The landlord and tenant Bill will be published before the end of the year. The land and conveyancing Bill was approved last week.
