More than 140 rented properties in just one area of Cork City are not registered with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) leaving tenants unprotected, the Dáil has heard.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said there is a "real problem" around the number of landlords who are not registering their properties, which is a legal requirement.
