Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 March 2023
78. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the protocols in place with the Residential Tenancies Board to respond to property owners who contact the board (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10510/23]
View answerThe Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) was established as a quasi-judicial independent statutory body under the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2022 (RTA), to operate a national tenancy registration system and to facilitate the resolution of disputes between landlords and tenants.
My Department does not have the information sought. However, 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 RTB set up a dedicated email address for this purpose.
The RTB may be contacted at OireachtasMembersQueries@rtb.ie to establish the extent to which it may hold the information sought.
