Mr. Fergal O'Leary:

The first thing we would do if we saw an advertisement on a booking platform that did not have a valid registration number is ask for it to be taken off all platforms. This is what we describe as an access-to-the-market-type registration regime. We also have powers concerning the individual property owners, perhaps to fine them or allow them time to regularise whatever issues they face in registering. We have powers on both sides.
