Eamon Gilmore
Question:37 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the plans, if any, he has to provide additional legislative protection for tenants in private rented accommodation, many of whom are being forced out by landlords de-tenanting properties; if, in particular, he will extend the type of protection available under the Housing (Private Rented Dwellings) Act, 1982 to the general body of tenants; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
