374. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the steps he will take to deal with the delays in relation to the implementation of Private Residential Tenancies Board decisions which have been attributed to the high volume of cases which is causing enormous distress to both landlords and tenants.

I have no function in the operational matters of the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB), an independent statutory body established on 1 September 2004 under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004. The Act regulates the tenant-landlord relationship in the private rented residential sector and provides, inter alia, for the enforcement of determination orders, where such have not been complied with, by application to the Circuit Court by either a party to the determination order or by the Board itself. Given the discretionary nature of this power the Board exercises it in the context of the circumstances pertaining to each case.
