In conversation, we have gathered that the RTB has access to the data from the housing assistance payment, HAP, which is social protection. We could request the RTB to clarify whether it has full access to Revenue. The Department of Social Protection still pays rent supplement. Has it full access to the list of properties - obviously not all the information in the database - for the rental accommodation scheme, RAS, and HAP? The obvious ones would appear to be RAS, HAP, the Department of Social Protection and Revenue. We could ask for that to be clarified.
