Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board

Ms Caren Gallagher:

It did. There were 130 sampling points across the country. The methodology is nationally representative and it aligns with the CSO indexes. It reflects the proportions across the country. Regarding the specifics the Deputy mentioned around the apartment piece, we did not extract that specifically but the survey was nationally representative to make sure the results reflected the national sample of rental properties and landlords and tenants in the sector. I can provide further information on that methodology.
