Mr. Niall Byrne:
Our position is that all members of the public who contact us are treated equally. We treat everybody equally and we do not have different channels for different kinds of customers coming to us.
On the issue of the role and function of the RTB and the question that the Deputy asked about Wexford, to be clear we are not the national rent control agency. We do not manage the market. We are not a market regulator. So we, therefore, do not have functions in the areas to which the Deputy referred in terms of the number of properties that are available in Wexford.
