Residential Tenancies Board  recruiting a new director on salary of up to €178,000

Just 10 months into the job, Niall Byrne told an Oireachtas committee that the RTB faces issues with management, strategy, and resources.

The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) is recruiting a new director who can earn a salary of up to €178k, to replace its outgoing director who is leaving after just two years in the top job.

The rental sector watchdog needs a new director, the equivalent of a CEO, with existing boss Niall Byrne due to leave this month. In November, a spokesperson for Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien said that “to be very clear”, the minister had not asked for Mr Byrne’s resignation.
