528 Mr. Dennehy asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has any plans to amend Section C of Part 4 of the Private Residential Tenancies Act as there is a potential loophole which could be used by property owners for not registering tenants; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42709/06]

It is a function of the Private Residential Tenancies Board, under section 151(1)(g) of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, to review the operation of the Act and to make recommendations for amendments to the Minister. Any proposals from the Board for the amendment of the Act will be fully considered.
