I would imagine landlords flying under the Revenue radar have reason to be very worried about this. Its akin to Govt/Revenue having the tenant painting a target on the property. If you haven't been declaring income then you'd need to rethink that strategy.

I would imagine a tax credit designed to help renters will not distinguish between whether the house is owner occupied (and rented for below €14k a year) or otherwise. It would be too cumbersome to start distinguishing based on it.
My guess is that any system is inching toward a place where landlords and tenants are all registered with the RTB at all times and this can be cross-checked with Revenue databases easily via matching PPSNs.
They are required to file a tax return each year to declare the Rent a Room money. They can be fined for not filling the return, even if no tax is owed.
It will probably work like before. The renter applies for rent relief and 'needs' their Landlords PPSN to fill in the form. If they cannot get the PPSN they can still apply, Revenue will require their landlord's name and contact details.
