Action 4.4 of the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness commits to extending the role of the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) to include a one stop shop for accessible information and advice. My Department is working with the RTB towards the Quarter 1 2017 delivery timescale, including consideration of the appropriate structure/format for the One Stop Shop.
My Department recently sanctioned a dedicated Communications and Research Manager post within the RTB to lead in this area of work. The RTB will commence recruiting for this post shortly.
