General Scheme of the Short-Term Letting and Tourism Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Sarah Cronin-Falvey:
There are many different ways people scrape and find their information and data. We do not track those figures because we are concentrated on doing our day-to-day job, which is looking after our guests. However, there are a couple of things we have noticed when the numbers are spoken about. You will see quotations and numbers of entire properties. They find this information from various different websites but we would say that is an advertising term. An entire property, in many cases, does not equate to an entire home. Yes, you might see a top-line figure but that is not necessarily representative of what is happening on the ground and what is available to the guest.
