Student Accommodation
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-25
============================================================

Mairéad Farrell (SF), Galway West

When can we see it? The first and most important thing is for us to see the legislation. We all want to stop this practice and ensure people are not locked into 51-week leases. As soon as we can see it and make sure it does what it says on the tin, we can welcome it. We need to end the practice of 51-week leases because it has affected many students. Is it the Minister's view that he can get it passed by the summer recess if there is co-operation and everybody is in agreement? Does he think, although we were told it had to be primary legislation, it can be done within two weeks?
