Government set for crunch Rent Pressure Zone talks - here's what we can expect
The Government is facing a turbulent week as it finally looks set to make a decision on the contentious Rent Pressure Zone legislation. As the plan to reform the renter rules is discussed at Cabinet on Tuesday, the opposition has warned of widespread protests to the reforms. Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) legislation was introduced in 2016. It limited the amount by which rents in RPZs could be increased to 2 per cent or the level of inflation, whichever is less. The legislation is due to lapse at the end of this year, with the Programme for Government committing to 'review the effectiveness' of RPZs. Pending Cabinet approval on Tuesday, it is expected that rent caps of 2% will stay in place for existing dwellings. A new six-year tenancy rule will be implemented, along with a restriction on no-fault evictions. After six years, the rent can be increased to match market rates. In a major change, landlords will also be allowed to increase the rents between tenancies. However, the rent cap will not apply to new-build apartments, as part of a Government push to increase the supply of apartments being built. The Irish Mirror understands that additional protections will be put in place for tenants. This will include limiting the situations in which a person can be evicted from a property. For smaller landlords, tenants can be told to leave the property if it is being sold or if family is moving in. However, the Irish Mirror understands that the list of eligible family members could be tightened. For larger landlords, they will be allowed to remove tenants if they break contractual agreements only. People Before Profit's Paul Murphy suggested that the Government's actions will drive rents even higher. He said: 'Rents nationally recently surpassed an average of €2,000 per month for the first time. 'The average rent in Dublin is now €2,500 per month and the rate of increase has accelerated to the highest rate in 20 years'. 'But the government's response to record-high rents is to change the RPZs to enable landlords to drive rents even higher. 'These are the actions of a government that is relentlessly focused on serving the needs of developers and landlords first, last and always. It should also be repeated that Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Lowry group TDs in the Dáil include many landlords'. Sinn Féin's housing spokesman, Eoin O Broin, meanwhile, told RTÉ's Morning Ireland that the Government was 'gaslighting' renters. "When the Taoiseach said yesterday that this was a balanced package to protect renters and encourage investment, he is deliberately misleading the public," Mr Ó Broin said. "He is gaslighting renters, and I'm not even sure he fully understands the extent to which they're putting huge numbers of people, young people, people approaching pension age, at enormous risk with even greater financial hardship, and in many cases, at risk of homelessness.'

Opposition tables second motion to ban Central Bank role in approving Israeli bonds
Members of the main Opposition parties have combined for a second time to put pressure on the State to stop facilitating the sale of Israeli bonds through the Central Bank . A fortnight after the defeat in the Dáil of a Sinn Féin Bill to prevent the Central Bank's role in approving Israeli bonds for sale in the European Union , the Social Democrats have tabled a private members' motion calling for the exact same measures. The Central Bank of Ireland has a role in approving documents on bonds issued by the Israeli government, which have been described as 'war bonds' by the Opposition. The Bill would have prevented the Irish Central Bank from approving the prospectus that allows Israel to trade its bonds in the European Union. Israel traditionally had its European bond prospectuses rubber-stamped in the UK, but turned to the Central Bank for authorisations after Brexit. READ MORE Sinéad Gibney of the Social Democrats said the Government had insisted the State is not selling the bonds. She argued the fact remained that Ireland was 'facilitating' the sale of bonds within Europe. 'Countries sell these bonds to raise money, and in the case of Israel, that money is being spent on bullets and on weapons to kill people, and that's why we have to stop it,' she said. Ms Gibney, Seán Crowe of Sinn Féin, Duncan Smith of Labour and Paul Murphy of People Before Profit all spoke against the bonds at a joint media conference by the four main Opposition parties on Monday, and argued that by facilitating their sale, Ireland became complicit in the Israeli war effort. They said the Central Bank should have no role in approving the prospectus that allows Israel to trade its bonds in the European Union. 'What's happening is these bonds are basically going toward blood money,' said Mr Crowe. 'It's buying the bullets, it's buying the ammunition.' [ 'Repulsive'; 'obscene'; 'genocide': Dáil voices rise in unison over Israel's slaughter in Gaza Opens in new window ] He added: 'Is there anyone in Ireland comfortable with the fact that we're facilitating this blood money coming into our country and being spent on weapons that are killing men, women and children?' Mr Murphy said that in the past day Israel had seized a boat carrying humanitarian aid from international waters and 'kidnapped' activists, including Greta Thunberg . He said the argument of the Government 'boiled down to the fact that if they don't authorise the bonds, someone else in Europe will authorise the bonds, and they'll be able to be to be sold. 'We do not accept that we should be assisting in the sale of Israeli bonds used for genocide at all,' he said. Mr Smith said that Ireland may be doing more than other European countries but the bar was so low, it was nowhere near enough. 'This motion could send a clear signal that Irish people do not stand for the selling of Israeli war bonds. We are asking for the Government to legislate, on an emergency basis, for the Central Bank to ban those sales.' [ Harris praises Madleen volunteers for highlighting 'urgent need for humanitarian aid' to reach Gaza Opens in new window ] Ms Gibney said the Government had a very clear mandate of support for Palestine from the population. 'Other Member States have much more divided populations, much more gritty things to deal with in terms of getting people on board. The Irish Government has the mandate of the Irish people, and they should be leaders on this. And it is simply not good enough to say, 'if we don't do it, somebody else will', because that is the absolute definition of complicity. If we stand up and stop this, other countries will follow suit.' Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe said during the Dáil debate at the end of May that the Sinn Féin legislation was 'unworkable' and inconsistent with EU law.

Multiple Limerick greyhound deaths add fuel to calls for racing ban
The incidents occurred on January 23, January 30, and April 10 at Limerick Greyhound Stadium, a Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) licenced track. The injuries reported included a broken left hock, a broken right hock and a fractured tibia and fibula. These conditions led on-site veterinarians to euthanise the animals. These Limerick-based cases form part of a larger dataset revealed by Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Martin Heydon, covering all Irish tracks from January 1 to April 30, during which 28,446 greyhounds raced. In addition, two other greyhounds at the Limerick stadium were treated for non-fatal injuries during this period, including a fractured hock and a possible wrist fracture. Overall, 106 greyhounds sustained injuries, with 54 euthanised by track veterinarians and two recorded as racing fatalities. The issue was raised by People Before Profit–Solidarity TD Paul Murphy in the Dáil on April 29, 2025. These numbers have prompted calls for a review of racing laws. According to Deputy Murphy: 'Both greyhound racing and hare coursing are cruel outdated practices that are banned in other countries and opposed by the vast majority of ordinary people here.'
