During an earlier exchange, the Taoiseach mentioned there is a cap on rent across the country of 2%. A landlord shocked his tenants in Tubbercurry a number of weeks ago. Anna Gallagher, who came to me about this issue, has been renting a three-bedroom semi-detached property in Knockanashee, Tubbercurry, with her husband and small child at the rate of €800 per month for the past two years. Her landlord, a man called Hugh Adams of Ballymote Construction, came to her and told her it was time for a rent review. He told her the rent was being increased to €1,400. That is a 75% increase.

It is not appropriate for the Deputy to be naming people in these circumstances.

Okay. An increase to €1,400 is a 75% increase in the rent. We all know of situations where tenants can have problems and can be in arrears. That is not the situation. There are five other tenants in the same estate with the same problem. It is happening across the country where unscrupulous landlords are pushing rents through the roof and it is destroying people's lives.

In response to Deputy Pa Daly, that matter will be examined. I will come back to the Deputy on the implications of that decision.

We will examine the point Deputy Joan Collins has made about the foster care allowance. Between the Ministers for Health, Social Protection, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, we can examine a range of measures for children more generally. We will consider the specific point the Deputy has raised in the fullness of the budgetary examination.

What Deputy Kenny has outlined is not acceptable. The area is not in a rent pressure zone. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is looking at legislation with a view to extending rent pressure zones. Nonetheless, the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, avenue is also open to complaints.

The RTB is under-resourced.

It can deal with complaints. The scale of what the Deputy has told me is involved in this case might merit examination by the RTB.
