Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

That is not what it says in the report. One of its recommendations is:
Regulate market rents fairly and effectively by reforming the current system of rent regulation and establishing a system of ‘Reference Rents’. This reform should be informed by evidence-based reviews on the impact of regulated market rents on rented housing supply, accessibility and affordability. Such reviews should be conducted on a regular basis...
Another recommendation is to "[r]eform and consolidate standards for rented dwellings through... single, nationwide dwelling standards..." That is fine. The report further recommends amending the standards for rental accommodation in private and cost-rental homes, regulating the landlord functions of local authority-owned dwellings and formalising local authority-tenant relations. The implementation of reforms to ensure a more effective enforcement model is also recommended. That is all fine.
