Ben Briscoe
Ceist:152 Mr. Briscoe asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the declining number of private rented accommodation units and the increasing difficulty single and young persons, particularly students, are encountering in finding such accommodation; the plans or incentives, if any, he intends to introduce to increase the availability of such accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
