Regulatory Bodies
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-01
============================================================

Peter Burke (FG), Longford-Westmeath

I cannot comment on specific cases but on the broad policy, the RTB has its budget, which has been increased significantly, and it has staff. It also has a panel of solicitors which it can deal with to support tenants in the District Court. It has almost €1 million of a budget to deal with that specifically and it takes 400 cases in that regard every single year. The law is strong on pursuing landlords and tenants alike on issues of non-compliance. There is also a range of Acts that can enforce fines and that can publish data on various different people. We can talk to the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, about the Deputy's specific case and follow up on it. We will see if we can highlight that case.
