Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

I refer to the reply to Question No. 816 of 27 April 2004. I am not aware of a recent court decision that has implications for the obligation of landlords to register their tenancies under the Housing (Registration of Rented Houses) Regulations 1996.
