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.
