With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 39 and 40 together.
The Landlord and Tenant Bill, 1970, which was introduced by short and long titles in Dáil Éireann on 9th December, 1970, will be a comprehensive measure dealing, among other matters, with the extension to new classes of tenants of the right to purchase the fee simple and the right to a reversionary lease in accordance with the recommendations of the Landlord and Tenant Commission as contained in their Second Report. The text of this Bill, which will consolidate and reform all the modern statute law on landlord and tenant, is at present being settled. In the meantime, I have made arrangements for a short Bill to be prepared that will include provisions to cater for those tenants on the Proby Estate, Sandycove, who are without rights under existing landlord and tenant legislation, and also to cater for the grant of recreational leases. I hope to be able to have this short Bill ready in the very near future.
