Last night, while the Minister and his Government were in here voting against renters and for landlords, five young people in Cork were forcefully, illegally and violently evicted from their home. This was not just an illegal eviction. The father of one of the girls staying there was knocked to the ground and put in a stranglehold while trying to defend his daughter from being evicted illegally. The landlord wanted to evict these young people in order to put the property on Airbnb to make a quick buck. It has gone beyond greed. As a result of this Government's inability to protect renters, landlords think they are above the law, above humanity and above morality. Will the Minister and his Government finally stand up, protect renters and stop these illegal and violent evictions?

On the same issue, it was a disgrace to see-----

No, you cannot come in on the same issue.

The Government will stand up for renters. I do not know the specifics of the case but what the Deputy has said would raise real concerns. I presume it is a matter for the Garda or others to investigate. My colleagues, the Ministers, Deputies Catherine Martin and Darragh O'Brien, and others are examining ways in which we get the balance right in terms of Airbnb. For too long, it was about the interests of the short-term Airbnb-type approach versus the need of local communities to be able to rent property. That is one of the examples where we will examine changing the approach. It is not to say "No" to Airbnb-----

It is happening today. People are being evicted from their homes.

Let the Minister respond.

-----but rather make sure it is part of a balanced approach which protects renters.
