Ms Niamh McGuire:
They are not going to police it. They will share data. Fáilte Ireland will have the registration and the exact address and location of the property. It will contact the appropriate local authority and ask it to confirm if that property has the required change of use planning. If it is the case that that property does not have the required change of use planning, then there is a procedure set out in the regulation that Fáilte Ireland has to follow. So, in the first instance, it has to contact the accommodation provider and make them aware of the situation and that their number is likely to be suspended, and the accommodation provider has a right of reply to that. So, there is a number of steps in that process.
