Mr. Mel Reynolds:

I will take one minute. The UCC study is really good. It is about 52 pages long and was done in 2018. It was a really detailed planning study of an area that the committee is saying needs to be done across the board. It is well worth having a look at. William Brady did it. The authors did a very detailed analysis of a city centre street. They found that more people were living over shops than they had thought but that by targeting existing vacant infill sites and upper floors, they could increase the capacity of that street by 280%. Interestingly, they found that something like 70% of all the vacant units were owned by one person, which meant that activating the CPO nudge process was a lot easier. Second is the desktop internal study Dublin City Council did. I was chatting to one of the senior planners at the time at a conference on vacant housing and they reckoned that in Dublin city, within the canals, there was capacity for 4,000 apartments without building one new structure. As we know, all you have to do is look up in any street in any town and you will see we have the capacity. Pretty much the entire Airbnb component in Dublin could be distilled into the existing upper floors.
