The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) is an independent statutory body established under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and I have no function in relation to the operational matters of the Board. Consequently, my Department does not hold or collate the information requested. However, I am aware that over 320,000 tenancies are currently registered with the RTB.

The Clerk of the Dáil has requested that arrangements be put in place to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies to members of the Oireachtas. Following the issue of Circular LG (P) 05/16 on 20 September from my Department, the RTB have set up a dedicated email address for this purpose at OireachtasMembersQueries@rtb.ie.
