Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

Those are my figures. Due to cross-referencing with the different Departments, there has been a huge improvement in the registration of landlords and the percentage of unregistered landlords dropped from 37% to 18% in the second quarter of 2011. Since the Senator's survey relates to a period almost six months later it is appropriate to query whether there has been any worsening of, or any improvement in, the situation. I will take this back to the Minister, Deputy Hogan, and we will check the figures and get back to the Senator on any further developments.
