Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board

Mr. Niall Byrne:

We are carefully looking at our revenue projections for next year and we are not predicting a dramatic increase in revenue for next year. We think it will be fairly stable year on year but there are some uncertainties on the revenue side because of changes that have come in relating to the registration of tenancies. This is part of what we are trying to convey to the committee and I hope it is coming across in the genuine way in which it is intended. We are in a period at the moment where, for various reasons, it is quite tricky for the RTB on the data side to look at our income, given the changes to the registration requirements, changes in legislation and the introduction of the moratorium. All those issues have a significant impact for us. Obviously, we are much more concerned about the impact for broader society, but within the organisation, all those aspects are creating a lot of issues, all of which have to be managed, with priorities to be shaped around them-----
