Leo Varadkar has defended Government’s approach to rising rents. Tell us your view


Rising rents are in the news: Leo Varadkar defended Government policy this week, saying there needs to be "a balance" between regulating rental costs and landlords' income.

“One person’s rent is another person’s income,” he told the Dáil on Tuesday. “It might be their pension, it might be how they pay their mortgage.”
