Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion

Mr. Niall Byrne:

I am looking at our annual report for the relevant page for 2022. In 2022, the total number of applications we had was 7,400 in total, which is an increase on 2021 and may not have been a typical year. The last typical year was 2019 and there were 6,185 then, which is an increase.

I do not have the numbers with me because we came here to discuss the registration question today but the indication for this year is that the number will be higher in 2023, again.
