Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

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 provides for data exchange between the PRTB and a number of specified bodies; the Health Service Executive (HSE) is not a specified body.
