Further Debate and Votes Cast on Controversial Rental Reforms | Dáil Debate Part 2

Описание: The debate continues in this second instalment of the Committee Stage of the Residential Tenancies Bill (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2026.

Following a narrow 73–68 vote at Second Stage earlier in the day, TDs return to the chamber to press amendments, challenge key provisions, and ultimately divide on a number of proposals. This video captures the remainder of the Committee Stage proceedings, including the votes that shape the final form of the Bill before it completes its passage through the Dáil.

With the legislation due to move to the Seanad and the proposed changes to the rental system expected to commence at the beginning of next month, the stakes are significant for tenants, landlords, and housing policy more broadly.

This recording covers:
• Continued exchanges between Government and Opposition TDs
• Ministerial responses to amendments
• Divisions and voting outcomes
• The political and practical implications of the final Committee Stage decisions

Part 1, covering the opening section of the Committee Stage debate, is available separately.
