A quarter of TDs rent out properties

MORE than a quarter of the country’s 166 TDs are landlords, owning 112 properties for rent between them.

Eleven TDs make money from renting out foreign properties in places such as Bulgaria, France, England and Portugal as well as Boston and Florida.

The property and business interests declared by all members of the Dáil are contained in the Register of Interests for 2007, published yesterday.
