Micheál Martin says Govt rent strategy is 'too little, too late' and rent cap is 'excessive'

Both Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin have clashed in the Dáil over proposals to cap rents in Cork and Dublin, writes Juno McEnroe of the Irish Examiner.

Attempts to curb spiralling rents now could be delayed, if TDs and parties cannot come to an agreement on how much they can rise by and in which counties by the end of this week.
