I raise this because it is published on the website of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and Fáilte Ireland has cited the figure. If we take a policy decision, we are looking at potentially taking 12,000 short-term rental accommodations, which service the tourism sector and, as Deputy Cannon mentioned, the short-term executive market, out of those sectors. Mr. O'Shea is saying we will get 12,000 extra units. If something like that can be guaranteed to us, it puts us in a different position. I appreciate there will not be an immediate impact, but is Mr. O'Shea saying, if we follow through on the policy being proposed here, that in summer or autumn of 2024, as a result of this, we will see up to 12,000 additional long-term lets?
