I do not think that the next subject I intend to raise falls into the ambit of this discussion but I will ask about it anyway. I am wondering if any of the discussion around this involves student accommodation being moved into short-term lets. Has there been a discussion on restricting that? The Labour Party has a lot of thoughts on student accommodation being moved into short-term lets and the impact that has. There has been some difficulty in establishing ownership of properties that are engaging in short-term lets. This is a slightly different question from that asked before. How will this be addressed? If a property owner does not register a short-term let and a fine is issued, what will the process be for Fáilte Ireland or local authorities to establish ownership?
