Mr. Niall Byrne:

Strictly speaking, licences are not within our remit. It can be a complex area in terms of what is a licence and what is a tenancy. People can claim that a licence is not a tenancy but we would not necessarily agree. In any dispute raised regarding that, the RTB will determine what the situation regarding any particular tenancy arrangement is. We do not know, however, what is not registered with us.
