Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I said earlier that there appears to be a serious problem with regard to the exchange of information between the Department, the Revenue Commissioners and the PRTB. Does the Minister accept that is the case? A recent report from the Comptroller and Auditor General showed that communications systems were weak in that regard. What steps has the Minister taken to ensure that his Department's computer system is capable of picking up on this information and relaying it to the other two agencies? With regard to the PRTB, in how many cases has the Department discovered rent supplement was being paid to landlords who were not registered? The Minister has stated that one landlord was prosecuted, but in how many cases did the Department find that landlords in receipt of rent supplements were not registered with the PRTB as is required in law?
