Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion
3:00 pm
Ms Lucia Crimin:
That is a really important point to make. Given the size of the registers held by the RTB, which is collectively over 300,000 tenancies, for the RTB to be effective and efficient it needs to operate at scale. What we are talking about here is having a bulk look up to identify this. I expect that by the end of this year we will have preliminary analyses back, which will give us an overall picture of the state of compliance of the register holistically. After that when we have the information it will help us to size and design the types of compliance activities.
We have called it out in our statement of strategy. We have made it a firm commitment. As Mr. Keegan mentioned earlier, we are around halfway through the statement of strategy. As a result, I would expect that by the end of the lifecycle of the current strategy, the work in this area will be much more advanced and well on its way to being scaled up.
