Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

As I indicated in my response to Parliamentary Question No. 45 of 2 February, while I have no immediate plans to implement further measures in relation to ground rents, either by way of constitutional amendment or amendment of the current statutory framework, operation of existing ground rents legislation is kept under review by my Department.
