Mr. Zak Murtagh:

It is interesting that the examples of east Galway and terraced homes have been raised. I do not claim to be an expert on Galway but I have spent some time there. In the Terryland area of the city, there would have traditionally been a stock of affordable housing, but what we are seeing is lots of different styles of properties in Galway being used for lots of different reasons. There is a slip and slide of properties that could be homes into being short-term lets and maybe back again. It is a valid concern. We feel that may be contributing to a knock-on effect in east Galway. Mr. Redmond can speak more about statistics we may have to hand on that. However, if Galway city centre is not regulated correctly around short-term lets, there will be a bigger problem for Galway as a regional whole.
