'It didn't happen that way': Greens refute report that rent freeze were discussed with FF

Neither party had a rent freeze policy in their general election manifesto, however Green Party TDs did vote for the emergency measure when it reached the Dáil floor.

The Green Party have refuted Fianna Fáil's version of events, after sources within Micheal Martin's party told a media outlet the parties had discussed a rent freeze.

It was reported this morning that following a day of government formation talks with the Green Party on Wednesday, Fianna Fáil are now considering the introduction of a short-term rent cap.
