The Taoiseach has set the government on a collision course with Fianna Fail – by defending the proposed caps for rental increases.
Fianna Fáil says the 4% limit for rent increases in Dublin and Cork is too high and needs to be lowered.
But this lunchtime Enda Kenny is standing by the 4% level, saying it needs to strike a balance.
In the Dáil he's appealed to Fianna Fail to allow the measures be passed into law before the Christmas break on Friday.
The former Tanaiste Joan Burton has urged Fine Gael to 'be brave' when it comes to the housing crisis.
Deputy Burton thinks the Government needs to take responsibility for the situation and says they're right to intervene.
