============================================================

Patrick Costello (GP), Dublin South-Central

Rent pressure zones were originally introduced to protect areas where households are having the greatest difficulty finding affordable accommodation. According to recent reports, pretty much the whole country fits that definition. Will the Government commit to using the rent pressure zone legislation to roll out a general protection to all renters from spiralling rents or even commit to reviewing legislation to provide greater protection to all citizens from spiralling rent pressure?
