Mr. Cathal Lawlor:

It is that there is an easier way to solve the problem. We would suggest that the PRTB charge be increased by €5 to cover deposits that are erroneously kept by landlords. It is a simpler solution to the problem than creating a new agency, which will inevitably bring with it a body of work.
