Funding cuts for inspections on rented accommodation 'a serious health and safety issue'
Serious health and safety concerns have been raised over poor regulation of the private rental sector.
Figures supplied to RTÉ Investigates under Freedom of information reveal that only 4% of the 325,000 registered rental properties in Ireland were inspected last year and of those that were inspected, more than two-thirds were not compliant with the regulations.
