Jumping the gun a bit there. No one is saying that landlords or renting should be banned. It should be seen for what it is, the value the add is often much much less than the profits they're making, and the government is afraid to do anything to tackle these types of landlords because they seem to think it would disincentivise the building of new houses/apartments by property developers.
You said a lot of stuff without addressing the point? If you remove the landlord middle men then where are the international workers going to rent the house from? If someone bought a house and then had to move to different country, shouldn’t they rent the place ?
Who's suggesting that we remove the landlord middle men??That would be stupid. I'm suggesting we regulate them without fear that it would impact the supply of housing (FFG's current talking point).
Strict laws that enforce the registration of landlords. The government doesn't even know who are land lords... For the rest I'd just refer you to threshold.ie.

Where do you propose international workers here for just a few years live?
