The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD, has initiated a public consultation to enable a review of the private residential rental sector. It is intended that the review will draw conclusions on how the housing system can be enhanced to provide an efficient, affordable, viable, safe and secure framework for both landlords and tenants and that government will act on the review’s recommendations.
The review will take into account the significant regulatory changes over the past several years in the residential market. The consultation is intended to allow targeted engagement with various stakeholders and the public in general.
The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD, said:
“As a Government we are completely focussed on increasing the supply of all kinds of safe and secure housing, including rental, and the need to protect renters while retaining landlords in the system, so this review will be another step forward in delivering this aim.
A central element of the review is the public consultation. We are encouraging the public to offer their views, experiences and perspectives on the private rental sector in Ireland”.
The consultation period will run from Monday, 26 June to Wednesday, 26 July 2023. The Institute, under the auspices of the CCAB-I will respond to the consultation and members wishing to provide input can email us.
