Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion

Mr. Niall Byrne:

I fully accept that and the accountability piece. We remain very committed to this and know it is a matter of huge public importance. I will mention, by way of contextualising, that even with the increasing number of disputes coming to the RTB, it only represents approximately 3% of all registered tenancies. Therefore, 97% of registered tenancies do not appear in front of the RTB as a dispute. That is a good and positive thing to recognise.
