Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion

3:00 pm

Mr. Owen Keegan:

It is important that, if Deputies are aware of cases, they bring them to our attention. We have become aware of cases where we believe there has been improper conduct in securing vacant tenure and the properties are being made available to other State agencies. We certainly made it known to those State agencies that they should not deal with those landlords because of the basis on which vacant possession was obtained, whether it is refugee accommodation or local authorities. If we find information, we pass it on to other public bodies to say we are not happy a State agency would deal with these landlords.
