Ms Helen Faughnan:

We hope to take on board everything that has been said today on the rent limit review. It is a very practical review and locally based. We see what is available within the limits and what can be achieved through negotiation. Accommodation is available. Some 50,000 people secured accommodation last year. We hope the new rent limit review will address the issues raised because of the changes in the rental market of which we are aware in Dublin and elsewhere, particularly on the borders. Last November my officials and I briefed Oireachtas Members on the issue of rent supplement, reviews and so on. If members of the committee would find it helpful, we could organise another briefing session to take them through the rent limit review, the findings of which we will make available to all Oireachtas Members. Following its publication, we can make a presentation and answer questions on issues arising from it.
