The RTB relates to new tenancies. Supply is the key. What is very important is that we really get supply up, which we are doing now, with 35,000 houses from March 2021 to March this year on all streams – social, private and cost rental. That is the key to this and we are going to continue to work on getting that supply up.

I would really appreciate the Deputy’s co-operation in making sure that if developments come along, we do not oppose them all of the time, that people do not oppose them and that we allow development to happen. If we do not get supply right, it is all hot air.
