Gardaí must be trained in how to identify and record sex for rent offers while such offers should also be covered in the domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence strategy, according to a new coalition.

The call is being made in a submission to the Oireachtas justice committee after the Criminal Law and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2026 was referred to it from the Dáil in recent weeks.
