Mr. Bernard O'Shea:

I agree with the Deputy on the value of the platform and the emerging sector over the past 15 years. Frankly, it has played a huge part in facilitating that growth we have had in tourism. We will be mindful to ensure that we get the balance right in the legislation between long-term and short-term housing. That is certainly the intention in establishing the register pursuant to what is provided for in Housing for All. I completely agree with that point. We are across the issue of business tourism, as he referred to. As we see it, there is no inconsistency between the planning requirement of 14 nights and the 21 nights referred to in the legislation, which is for tourism reasons. The 14 nights are within the 21 nights, so we do not see an issue there per se. My colleague from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage might want to come in on the planning issue.
