Does Airbnb have a mechanism to refine that heading further? That data set feeds into public policy a bit. It gets spoken about at council meetings, in the Seanad and in the Dáil, and we are now looking at a block of legislation. When people look at the headline figure of 25,303 vacant properties across Ireland, they say that if we had a policy decision, we could solve not all but a lot of the housing crisis overnight. That figure is not truly reflective of what is available in Ireland tonight. All of this should not fall on Airbnb, of course. There are Departments with responsibility for housing and for social protection. It would help Airbnb, the tourism industry and us as legislators if there was a little bit more definition of where that headline figure is at. Can Airbnb do that?
