I hear Mr. Dunne. I have a question on the listings of available rental properties on daft.iespecifically with regard to the new build-to-rent blocks. I know this been discussed. For example, in the case of Castle View build-to-rent block in Bluebell, Dublin 12, it was stated there were five different property types and up to 250 homes but only one apartment was listed. Moreover the recent census shows that more than 35,000 vacant dwellings were rental properties. I believe this alludes to the overarching issue of short-term lets. I understand the Government is aiming to solve this by releasing an estimated 12,000 properties that do not have planning permission for short-term letting into the long-term rental market. In the meantime what role does the RTB have in regulating the properties to ensure all available rental properties are accurately advertised and listed?
