My Department has no function in the operational matters of the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB), which is an independent statutory body established under the terms of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004. The board's performance is, however, now benefiting from the increase in its permanent staff complement from 26 to 40 approved by my Department last year.

The PRTB may be contacted at their offices at O'Connell Bridge House, Dublin 2 or by telephone or email. Contact details are available on the board's website at www.prtb.ie
