Under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, one of the functions assigned to the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB) is to review the operation of the Act and to make recommendations to the Minister for its amendment, where necessary. The PRTB has recently completed an examination of the Act and, informed by four years of experience, has made a number of recommendations for legislative change. These recommendations are currently under consideration and I will be aiming to ensure that any amendments considered appropriate are brought forward in the context of the passage of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008 through the Oireachtas.
