Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government
Housing and Rental Market: Discussion (Resumed)
1:30 pm
Mr. Patrick Robinson:
Yes, the same questions are asked in each country. That said, we have implemented slightly different user flows in certain places because things like consumer rights legislation are different or because there are specific laws governing the kind of information hosts need to declare. For example, in France, the host ticks a box that states the property in question is his or her primary home. We all know what ticking boxes does - the answer is not a huge amount - but that is what the law requires so that is what we do. The general data we collect about the quality and services are the same in every country because our guests travel all around the world and they need to know the same things as they go.
