As regards the concerns of Threshold, there was reference earlier to the figure of more than 12,000 long-term properties that could be brought back into the rental market that was presented by Fáilte Ireland. In previous discussions at the committee, we tried to better understand how that figure was put together. We were informed it was a scraping exercise across all platforms. We do not have hard data at present in terms of the potential of the proposed legislation to bring more properties back into long-term letting. Is that concern shared by the witnesses?
