It's a great idea.

And, you know, it's needed.

It's very much needed to get an outline of who's where, you know, there's.

A lot of Airbnbs are short-term lets in Dublin.

There might be a shortage of them in Tramore or somewhere like that.

So it'll give an overall picture of the numbers.

But tagging in a planning law... So explain that, the tagging in the planning law.

So they want everybody to apply for change of use or to apply for full planning permission, which is hugely expensive, as you well know.

Our firm dates back to the 1700s.

We're pre-planning.

If I have to go down the route of applying for planning permission or applying for retention, there's no guarantee I'm going to get it.

The house is that old.

There's no guarantee we're actually going to pass it.

So it is a worry.

It is a worry, you know.

Yeah, and there was going to be exemptions.

You know, they said, oh, you know, your farm stay, you'll probably be exempt.

But we need that in writing.

We need to be told, OK, you know, your granny flat is exempt.

There's going to be certain places that will be exempt from the planning.
