I am conscious of time and I want to ask questions about landlords and registration so I might contribute in a later round.
Ms Gallagher spoke about the rent-price inflation, that is the inflation of rent prices on new properties. Recently, I was told that construction inflation was running 30% in Dublin city. Is the RTB seeing the rent inflation mirroring or pegging that 30%? Is that what the RTB data shows or can the RTB give the committee an indication of the figures? If the witnesses do not have that information to hand, perhaps they can revert to me with it later.
