Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Minister for outlining the steps. We will hear more from the Taoiseach later. For the benefit of the House, the key concern for those families is getting out. Now that martial law has been declared, that is going to be very difficult for the men. I think in particular of prominent anti-Russian and anti-Putin journalists, who have spoken out so bravely in recent months and...

However, it is not clear to me what proactive steps the RTB has taken to date to try to identify the scale of that or ensure they become registered. I may be wrong but that is what I am hearing.

Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I understand but what I am asking about is what steps the management of the RTB has taken to remedy the fact that there are unregistered tenancies out there that should be registered and what the RTB's role in that is. I appreciate its current remit. I am asking what it has done about it and if it has looked for additional powers that might give it more. If it is somebody else's...

Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have a question about the completeness of the registry generally. I appreciate that it is difficult, which is why I am asking about the steps that can be taken to follow up and identify what is not there.
