I propose to take Questions Nos. 1711 to 1713, inclusive, together.

Details of determination orders, dispute processing times, appeals and requests for enforcement to the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) over the past five years, are not held by my Department.

Each year, the RTB publishes information on its activities in its annual report, including disputes and enforcement related activities. Full details of expenditure incurred by the RTB in the performance of its activities are also contained in its annual accounts.  The RTB annual reports are available on the Board's website at

.

Insofar as the remaining information requested by the Deputy is available from 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 2016 from my Department, Members of the Oireachtas seeking information relating to the RTB can email their queries to the dedicated email address of the RTB, at .
