Ms Niamh McGuire:

Again, the national planning statement and the rules around short-term letting from a planning perspective are a matter for the Department of housing and the Minister for housing. In April the Government approved the Minister for housing's proposal to introduce the cap of 10,000. What we expect is that the national planning statement will include the requirement that anybody within an area with a population of over 10,000 from the last census will generally be precluded from planning. That is the case and that rule will apply.
