Go raibh maith agat.
I thank the Minister for his answer. Westminster recently passed its Renters' Rights Act 2025, which has ushered in a significant number of reforms to private tenancies in England, such as a ban on no-fault evictions, the abolition of fixed-term tenancy contracts and increased rights for pet owners. Will the Minister commit to bringing forward legislative reforms to strengthen renters' rights before the end of the mandate?
