The Airbnb representatives mentioned in their opening statement the idea of home-sharing and the fact that nine out of ten of those on the register have one property. I have no doubt many of the people who have Airbnb rentals are doing it as supplementary and perhaps very important income as they get older etc. However, I gave the example of Kinsale, where it seems whole units in a row are on Airbnb, potentially by the same owner. What percentage of Airbnb units are from one owner with multiple listings? Does Mr. Nolan have that? That appears to be the situation in some places.
