Ms Ann-Marie O'Reilly:

The information from the RTB survey of landlords will go some way to inform us on that. Another survey is due that will delve deeper into the issues. The solution certainly will involve consultation with landlords across the board. We assist some 20,000 renters a year. We speak to a cohort of renters but certainly not all of them. It is a similar situation with landlords, of whom there are some 150,000 in the country. There must be significant consultation with them on this issue.
