The Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act, which was passed in December 2016, introduced rent caps in rent pressure zones. I am the representative of a rent pressure zone in Kildare North. A number of rent reviews have been with the Department for nearly three months. While the Tánaiste might not be able to answer me, she might get her colleague or departmental officials to revert to me in this regard. It has taken nearly three months to have a review carried out, which is causing a lot of stress and hardship for families and putting pressure on them. Can the Government have this speeded up? It is unacceptable that a review of a rent pressure zone would take nearly three months.

When the Minister introduced that initiative, he made it clear that there could be reviews. I will ask him to correspond with the Deputy directly to see when that review in regard to Kildare will be finalised.
