Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: When one compares Airbnb figures in Galway with those for longer term lets on daft.ie, on 1 May 2017, there were 13.5% more properties to let on a short-term basis on Airbnb than the total number of properties for the combined provinces of Connacht and Ulster on daft.ie.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We spoke recently about the Pobal index on deprivation which was published last week.

Seanad: Order of Business (15 Nov 2017)

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: We are often accused of not having solutions. A solution that I suggest for the issue being raised by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is that the Taoiseach come to the House and discuss the matter, but also that he scrap his strategic communications unit and give the €5 million he is spending on that to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to prove that this Government is serious...
