Rent control research update
Deputy Willie O'Dea asked for progress on research into extending rent control to Limerick, Galway and Waterford. The Taoiseach said he could not give the detail but would have the Minister respond directly.
Before Christmas, the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government undertook to get the Residential Tenancies Board to carry out some research to ascertain whether rent control would be extended to Limerick, Galway and Waterford. What stage is this research at and will the Minister be able to meet his commitment that the decision will be made towards the end of this month or early next month?
