Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

Housing Rental Sector Strategy: Discussion

11:00 am

Ms Bairbre Nic Aongusa:

Deputy Casey spoke about the provision by which the rent-pressure-zone order can be revoked. The legislation sets out that it can be revoked by the Minister on a recommendation by the Housing Agency. It sets out that the Housing Agency needs to consider the operation of the rental market in the area, the operation of the broader housing market and changes in rent levels in the period.
