Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

My Department does not hold or collate the data referred to by the Deputy in relation to private rental properties.

The Clerk of the Dáil 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, the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) set up a dedicated email address for this purpose, at [e-mail].
