Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government
Housing Rental Sector Strategy: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. David Silke:
I will address the question on County Louth. The information the local authority provided related to January of this year, 2017, but the timeline for the designation of the rent pressure zone, RPZ, is the end of the third quarter of 2016, which is the time of the most recent rent index, and this is what is laid out in the legislation. We gave more weight to the information that was more time linked to that period of September 2016.
