Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion

Mr. Niall Byrne:

No, the Senator is correct. This is partly due to us having to prioritise all the issues we had with the registration system. We did not unfortunately make as much progress on the disputes function as I would have liked to have seen. However, we have engaged in analysis, as I mentioned earlier, to go down into detail in terms of the processes to really examine where the time goes. We now have insights from that exercise that we would not have had before. Those indicative numbers being quoted by the Senator are quite ambitious.
