Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Mr. Kieran Culhane:
As I explained earlier, the definition of “formal” that we use is purely a statistical exercise and is not related to the RTB legislation in any way. It is just using the RTB register and the properties on the RTB register as a basis. We are assuming they are all formal arrangements because they are fully registered. If a property has a similar profile to them, it is formal. If properties do not have a similar profile to them, they are the ones we categorise as informal. We are using the RTB register as our basis of comparison.
