Education and rising rents

Summary

Senator Hayden seeks debates on second-chance education and urgently rising rents nationwide while praising the Tánaiste’s conduct during the protests.

I add my voice to those who congratulated our colleague, Senator Katherine Zappone, on her ongoing work in Tallaght with An Cósan. I ask the Leader to arrange a debate at some point on second chance education.

As a Labour Party member, I am proud of the dignified way in which the Tánaiste, Deputy Joan Burton, handled herself on Saturday. There is nothing much more to say on the subject.

I ask the Leader for a report on findings shown on daft.ie yesterday of very significant rent increases, not just in Dublin this time but all over the country. As a matter of urgency, we need to have a debate on the whole rental sector, in particular on a recently published report by the PRTB on the future of the private rented sector in Ireland.
