Batt O'Keeffe (Cork North West, Fianna Fail)

With regard to licensing, a report issued by the Centre for Housing Research suggested a pilot system for certification of compliance with private rented accommodation standards. We are examining the centre's proposals at present. I do not anticipate them being introduced immediately because a great deal of research is required in this area. I will report to the Dáil as soon as we make a final decision on the issue.
