Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy. I will check that out and speak to the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, about it. As the Deputy knows, in the rent pressure zones, which cover the vast majority of tenancies in the country, the maximum increase is 4%.
I did not envisage that people would be able to apply a retrospective year. An 8% increase for anyone would be a very large increase in any one year. I must admit to not being aware of that and I will talk to the Minster about it.
