Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board
Ms Caren Gallagher:
We would have to take that away, to be honest. There are a lot of factors and it is complex in terms of the size of the dataset, the number of observations and whether we could apply the methodology. It depends. We could come back to the committee in that regard. The rent index report and the analysis and methodology is very specific. In terms of the rents as reported to us, to extract those and to look at them on a small area basis would be a piece that we would have to take away. We would have to look at the feasibility of that in terms of applying a methodology to it. It is a standardised average rent that we are trying to get to. It is something we would have to come back to the committee on.
