Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion

3:00 pm

Ms Lucia Crimin:

The Senator asked a question about proactively identifying non-registration. I will make one quick comment in addition to what I have said already. In furtherance of the concept of building a compliance model at scale, the RTB is already in receipt of a number of data sets from across the system. These include a data set in respect of HAP. We are working with the Department of housing on establishing a new legal basis to allow data to be shared with the Revenue Commissioners. To come back to the point, the quality of our data and the existence of a unique identifier, an eircode, makes it possible to take large data sets from other organisations and to perform bulk analysis to identify potential non-compliance.
