Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

Will the Minister agree to introduce a system whereby all landlords who receive rent payments from the State must supply a full PPS and tax number and that this tax number is made available to the Revenue Commissioners, that landlords who are obliged to register with the Private Residential Tenancies Board should also have to include a tax number on their registration, as they are meant to do, and that those tax numbers would be made available to the Revenue Commissioners? This would ensure that all landlords who are liable to pay tax on their earnings would be made to pay it.
