Clare TD Claims Rent Controls Skewed To Favour Landlords Ahead Of Dáil Protest

Clare FM

It's claimed Clare's students, young families and children in poverty will feel all the adverse consequences of incoming rent controls. Opposition parties will hold a protest outside the Dáil at 6pm this evening to coincide with a Sinn Féin private members bill calling for emergency action to alleviate the housing crisis and increased investment in social housing. The Government is expected to bring legislation before Cabinet this week that will make the entire country a rent pressure zone, along with restrictions on no fault evictions and a six year security of tenancy. Clare Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that the plans are skewed to favour landlords.
