Vol. 1010 No. 2

Ban on Rent Increases Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]

The following motion was moved by Deputy Ó Broin on 6 July 2021: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Debate resumed on amendment No. 1:
To delete all words after "That" and substitute the following:
Dáil Éireann resolves that the Ban on Rent Increases Bill 2021 be deemed to be read a second time this day 12 months, to allow for the Government’s Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021, which is due to be enacted shortly and which will provide a change from the 4 per cent per annum rent increase restriction in Rent Pressure Zones to a rent increase restriction requiring that any rent increase cannot exceed the percentage rate of general inflation, to take effect.
- (Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage)

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the amendment in the name of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy O'Brien, to the second reading motion on the Ban on Rent Increases Bill 2021. On the question, "That the amendment to the motion be made", a division was claimed and, in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
