267 Deputy Charlie O’Connor asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that local authorities have not carried out a sufficient number of inspections of rented private residential properties in order to draw from a specific fund of some €10 million collected by the Private Residential Tenancies Board from registration fees charged to property owners; the location of this fund and if it is in an interest bearing account; if he is satisfied that the inspections required under legislation have not been or will not be carried out; if he will sponsor an amendment or new legislation to allow these accumulated funds to be used to defray the administrative costs of the PRTB now that it is no longer in receipt of Exchequer funding; if he will also sponsor an amendment or new legislation to provide a compensation fund for property owners who are unable to collect awards to them by appeals tribunals when tenants have not discharged their liability; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
