I am very interested in exploring that. I have to see how NDP negotiations go. I would like to do something in that regard in this Government, even if it was a pilot scheme. It would be well worth it. There was engagement before the summer, I think, by the committee in exploring that idea. It was front and centre. I forgot to address one question on short-term letting; I apologise. The Minister and I are cognisant that we need to be careful about the impact on rural tourism. Neither I nor the Minister would want a negative impact on rural Ireland. Just this week, the Minister confirmed that the intention of the policy is to target high-demand urban areas, not rural areas. He said he would publish the updated guidelines when the heads of Bill are ready.
