I thank Ms Casey. Ms Cupples, Mr. Nolan and Ms Ní Mhurchú all alluded to the fact that impending EU direction or legislation is expected in the near-term as to how exactly we are going to implement the EU-wide regulation of short-term lets. Has any country right now in Airbnb's experience managed to strike that balance between ensuring it has the necessary supply of homes for people in areas that are urgently bereft of such homes in larger urban population centres but in doing so, has not suppressed the kind of activity Ms Casey is involved in on her farm in County Kerry? Has somebody managed to successfully strike that balance?
