Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government
Housing Rental Sector Strategy: Discussion
11:00 am
Ms Rosalind Carroll:
On the last query regarding registration and our methodology, each registration that comes into us has to come with a description of the type of property. It is not just the rent that is registered with us but also the type of property, the landlord and the number of tenants in the property. All that data is pulled into our analysis when we are doing the rent index, so we would be able to differentiate between one local electoral area and another. The weighting is all taken from our registration data. I will hand over to Ms Nic Aongusa on the question of HAP.
