Residential Tenancies Board: Chairperson Designate
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I congratulate Mr. Dunne on his appointment which I have no doubt will be ratified. The work the RTB does is extremely important because essentially it is the watchdog to protect the rights of tenants and those of landlords when tenants do not fulfil their responsibilities. In that sense, the RTB has a dual role. Mr. Dunne has studied the legislation significantly and noticed and noted the amount of change there has been. Does the RTB have enough power? From his review ahead of his appointment, has he identified any area in which the powers of the RTB should be strengthened?
