Ms Sarah Cronin-Falvey:

In preparation to meet a group of hosts in Cork a few weeks ago, I rang 13 different engineers and architects in Cork and proposed the hypothetical situation to them of applying for planning permission to operate this as a short-term let. They said they would not touch it, were not interested, could not tell me or would not be able to put in an application because there is no framework to put it in to a local authority or apply.
