asked the Minister for Justice if he will consider setting up a rents tribunal to control the rents of furnished flats.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 19 and 20 together.
Security of tenure for occupants of furnished flats or the setting up of a rents tribunal, as suggested by the Deputy, would involve an extension of the existing rent restrictions, which were last reviewed in connection with the amending Act of 1967. No extension of these restrictions is contemplated at present.
