Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Report of Housing Commission: Housing Commission

2:00 am

Ms Patricia King:

The standards within the rental sector exercised the commission considerably. I know the Deputy would have an interest in that. The standards are something that are not, dare I use the word, policed well at all. The commission made a recommendation in that regard to try to reinforce the point so that tenants can be assured of a standard applying to the rental property.
