Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board

Mr. Tom Dunne:

It is possible to explain. I will leave it to my colleagues but I will make a preliminary comment that it is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. The daft.iereport is drawn from a fairly small sector of people who put their properties up for rent. The RTB index is drawn from a much wider number of tenancies in existence. They measure two different things to some extent. Perhaps Ms Gallagher can express it a bit more clearly.
