## Resource

Ires Reit, the largest landlord in the country, has declined to discuss controversial fees charged to renters for common areas, citing busy schedules. Sinn Féins housing spokesperson, Eoin Ó Broin, accuses the company of avoiding scrutiny from lawmakers. The fees, which added hundreds to renters monthly costs, were dropped after a court ruling and refunds were issued. Ó Broin urges the Oireachtas committee to invite Ires Reit for questioning about their business model and compliance with new rental laws.
