- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I thank both organisations for their presentations and the research. We understand how big the piece of research is because two datasets are being compared that are not recording necessarily the same thing, which creates all sorts of challenges. In the first round, I want to understand how the datasets have been separated. As mentioned here, characteristics have been identified in the...

Eoin Ó Broin: From what has been said, from a statistical point of view there is a stronger basis to say the "formal" ones are formal because they kind of match the dataset from the RTB registrations. The exclusion of the 47,000 is a consequence because they do not match.

Eoin Ó Broin: One of the issues we were all thinking about when the different set, as we are now calling it, first emerged was the treatment of licensees. I ask this question for my own clarity: if I own a house and Deputy O'Callaghan rents a room in the house as a licensee, how is that recorded in the census? If I am the homeowner and head of the household, obviously I fill out the census and licensees...

Eoin Ó Broin: Would that categorisation facilitate a person who does not have exclusive occupation of a portion of the property and is just renting a room? Would such a person fit that category of a household for the purposes of filling a second form?

Eoin Ó Broin: Is there any way for the CSO, perhaps as part of this exercise, to attempt to match or look at where two separate census forms were filled in for a single property to try to establish things? I appreciate that all of this is tricky. I do not mean it as a criticism in any way when I say that 47,000 "possible informal" arrangements seems potentially too large. It is worthy of interrogating...

Eoin Ó Broin: I presume it would be very time-consuming to do that.

Eoin Ó Broin: Sure. I am out of time. I will come back in on the next round.

Eoin Ó Broin: I have one final question on the methodology just so that I am clear. Is it the case that the CSO looked at the RTB registration data - the total registration - and at the characteristics of properties that were registered, such as whether they were more likely to be urban than rural and more likely to be smaller or terraced than semi-detached, bearing in mind that the latter, obviously,...

Eoin Ó Broin: Will Mr. Culhane explain in a little more detail how that worked? The two types or sets were separated out.

Eoin Ó Broin: One of the useful things that could come out of this entire exercise, because it is important, not so much in the sense that the CSO had to do all of this hard work and then come in here to answer our questions but rather that something arises from it, is that it shows there is an argument to take a look at the question in future censuses on private rental arrangements so that, rather than...

Eoin Ó Broin: To labour the point - I apologise; I am a politician so that is what I do for a living - if we take the 2022 data, for example, there were 3,000 first notices. Obviously, the figure for second notices was 1,600. It would be great to know whether that means that almost half of the people who got the first notice registered and, therefore, a second notice was not needed. Likewise, for...
