My Department is engaged in a review of the limits and the scope of the Small Claims District Court Procedure. Pending the outcome of that review I can say that the matter raised by the Deputy is one that already comes within the scope of the Residential Tenancies Board that comes under the aegis of the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
