Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

I thank the Deputy. Because a register does not exist, the information was not readily there. Fáilte Ireland effectively had to scrape data from a range of online platforms. Its initial estimate was that maybe 12,000 units could feasibly go back to housing. It did a second run at it and now its estimate is approximately 10,400 units. That is only a best estimate, however. It points to the need for a short-term letting register. As it happens, colleagues from the Department will be engaging tomorrow with the European Commission as to its views on it. We will have more information then on the likely timing of that process.
