Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Right to Purchase) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Smyth:
If we were to ask that question of a landlord, I imagine the answer would be that there is scope. We can probably go back to the RTB to see what, if anything, we could do to speed things up. However, some of the delay would be a matter for the Courts Service as it relates to the court enforcement part of matters and the requirement for the sheriff to activate enforcement orders, as required. There is a point where the RTB's role stops.
