Ireland and the UK are the only countries in Europe in which upward-only rent reviews are standard practise in commercial rent agreements. I call on the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Mr Dermot Ahern T.D. to act quickly in providing legislation that will remove the terms in existing retail contracts which allow landlords to revise rents upwards. This is providing to be a huge problem in our area. High rents are forcing Meath retailers to the wall. There will have to be provision for downward rental reviews. A significant amount of retail/commercial property has been moved to NAMA, yet 30,000 jobs have been lost in the retail sector in the past year. Landlords must provide flexibility to tenants. Urgent action is required. The Minister cannot be allowed to delay any longer on this matter. It is in the public interest and in the interest of every local authority that steps are taken very soon in regard to this issue.
