asked the President whether the Government have decided what proposals for legislation are necessary to give effect to the recommendations contained in the Report of the Town Tenants Commission; and whether he will state the intentions of the Government with reference to the Report.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - TOWN TENANTS COMMISSION.
No decision has yet been reached as to the precise nature of the legislation which will be promoted by the Government to deal with town tenancies. It is the definite intention of the Government to introduce legislation of this kind, but I cannot at this stage indicate when the appropriate Bill is likely to be ready.
Mr. BYRNE
Will the President say whether anything can be done to prevent owners of small shops taking steps at the moment to evict their tenants so that they will not get the advantages of the recommendations contained in the Report of the Town Tenants Commission? I could give the President particulars of numerous such cases.
If the Deputy communicates with me I will endeavour to answer him.
