‹ Order of Business Rent certainty legislation
Summary
Ellis asks whether rent certainty for private tenants has reached Cabinet or will produce legislation; Bruton says no legislation is currently promised.
The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, announced at the Labour Party conference that he was considering the introduction of rent certainty for private tenants. Could the Minister indicate whether any proposal has been brought forward, if the matter been discussed by Cabinet, or if there are any plans to introduce legislation?
Comment on this
I do not think legislation is promised at this point. The Government has a construction strategy and it is considering many issues, but no promised legislation in that regard is on the list.
