520 _aProvides an overview of the housing market in the Republic of Ireland and the new demand for affordable housing. Although home ownership levels are amongst the highest in the EU and relatively few Irish live in rented accommodation, new housing market entrants are being increasingly forced by sustained house price inflation to seek either social or private rented housing. The Irish government has introduced measures to reform the rented housing sector, which has been traditionally very lightly regulated and is in the process of establishing a Private Residential Tenancies Board, with which landlords must register all tenancies. It has also opened up the provision of new social housing to agencies other than local authorities and with the Planning and Development Act 2000 has ensured that most new social housing will be located in multi-tenure estates. Table shows social house building 1990- 2002.
