Residential Tenancies Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-25
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I always respect her rulings. We are dealing with amendments Nos. 1 to 15, inclusive, and 19 to 21, inclusive. The Deputy has gone to the trouble of tabling the amendments so he should give me some opportunity to respond to them in detail. Maybe he does not want me to do so but I believe it is important that to put on the record of the House what this Bill does, what the nature of the Deputy's amendments are, and why I am not accepting them. People deserve to know that. Maybe the main Opposition spokesperson does not believe in transparency but I do and that is why, with the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's permission, I will continue. I will conclude shortly, if you do not mind.
