The Dáil debate on the government's new housing strategy has been postponed – amid signs the scheme could be abandoned.
TDs were due to start debating Simon Coveney's new plan for rent caps in high-pressure areas in a few minutes' time.
But just minutes before the debate, TDs were told the legislation had been pulled off the Dáil schedule.
Last night Enda Kenny told Fine Gael TDs that the scheme would be withdrawn unless Fianna Fáil gave its backing to a 4% annual cap.
A spokeswoman for Minister Coveney had said the door remained open for talks, but the Dáil debate on the plan has now been delayed.
