Summary
Deputy Farrell criticised vulture funds dominating student accommodation and long 51-week leases for a 39-week academic term. The Minister said legislation was being brought forward, measures had gone to Cabinet, and she could not give an exact timeline.
My understanding is that measures are being brought to Cabinet.
Comment on this
Measures have been brought by the Minister, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan, to address the issue of students having to engage in full-year leases as opposed to shorter leases. He will be progressing that as soon as possible.

I do not have an exact timeline for that.
