Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-07-05
============================================================

Mary Fitzpatrick (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I will be very brief. I thank the Minister and Senators. This is an urgent Bill which we needed to pass and that has now passed. The linking of rent increases to the consumer price index is long overdue.
I thank the Minister. He is correct in saying that this is a very constructive House. He is welcome to bring a Bill, that will address our housing crisis, before this House any day of the week. This Bill addresses the issue for renters and landlords, but we need to do more. The Minister knows this and we look forward to welcoming him back.
