I think daft.iewas used. I can ask directly. The Housing Agency did look at prices on daft.iein County Louth. If I remember correctly, when I queried this, I was told that the daft.ierent average was something of the order of €880. It was not the figure of €905 I got from Ms Nic Aongusa today. I do not say that in a derogatory manner. Rents from daft.ierents were looked at in County Louth in the context of this assessment. Whether that would have made a difference or not is a different issue. I also discussed the formula with the ESRI. There are two many agencies involved in this. The ESRI, the RTB and the Housing Agency are all involved. It would be far better if just one agency dealt with it.
