Owen Keegan resigns as chairperson of Ireland’s Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) with immediate effect, according to reports. The RTB chairperson position becomes vacant following his resignation. Separate reporting notes that Keegan is appointed to the role in November 2024, less than two years after taking up the chairmanship. That same reporting says he previously served as an interim director before being appointed chairperson.
While both outlets confirm the resignation and that it takes effect immediately, neither source provides details on the reasons for his departure or on any interim or permanent replacement. The reports focus on the timing of his resignation and his appointment history within the RTB. The RTB continues operating under its existing structures while the chair role is unfilled. Further information on the board’s next steps is not included in the provided articles.
