Significant resources have been allocated for the operation of the Private Residential Tenancy Board. An increased provision of €3.7 million is available to fund the Board's administration and services in 2006, compared with an outturn of €1.737 million in 2005. There is currently a total of 51.5 staff working in the Board. The Board has also engaged a panel of 175 mediators and adjudicators to assist with its dispute resolution functions. It is a matter for the Board to prioritise the allocation of resources and to keep the adequacy of such resources under review.
