Ciarán Cannon: I thank all the witnesses for joining us today for what will hopefully be a fruitful and productive discussion. I live in a small village in rural east Galway. Up until approximately five years ago, we never saw a tourist in our village or anywhere within close proximity to our village. With the advent of Airbnb, and the fact that we have three extraordinarily successful Airbnb hosts now...

Ciarán Cannon: I thank Ms Casey. Ms Cupples, Mr. Nolan and Ms Ní Mhurchú all alluded to the fact that impending EU direction or legislation is expected in the near-term as to how exactly we are going to implement the EU-wide regulation of short-term lets.

Ciarán Cannon: As Deputy Griffin mentioned, we are investing millions in developing a national network of greenways. One is about to open connecting Dublin to Galway city by, it is hoped, 2025. A lot of that tourism activity will be directed towards the hidden heartlands, a large region of the midlands of Ireland which has received little or no tourism investment or revenue in my lifetime. There is no...

Ciarán Cannon: I thank the witnesses for their fascinating and very informative contributions. Mr. Redmond made the valid point that we are flying blind in trying to get accurate data on what benefit this brings to the long-term rental market.
