Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

In the programme for Government there is a recommendation that an all-party committee on property rights be established. When is it intended that committee will be set up? Will the private residential tenancy board be considered under the Bill that is due to come before the House next March? A loophole in the legislation allows landlords to opt out of registering with the PRTB by declaring themselves as licensees. This practice is widespread throughout the country. Will the housing miscellaneous provisions Bill close that loophole?
