Sir, – I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment expressed in the letter from Senator Sean Barrett (September 2nd). However, it is not policy that gets things done, but rather action. Mr Barrett is in the privileged position of having been elected as one of our legislators. It is within his power, and that of his fellow Senators, who have expressed "strong support for the position of compliant tenants of defaulting landlords", to bring legislation before the house to rectify this issue, which is affecting an increasing number of the Seanad's constituency. Draft the legislation and put it before the House and let the Senators vote it down, if they dare. – Yours, etc,
