Friends First appeals Council's short-term letting ban ruling

Life assurance firm Friends First has hit out at the failure to regularise under the planning code any system for landlords for Airbnb-style lettings.

The company has lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanála seeking to overturn a planning refusal for the temporary use of six apartments it owns at 43-44 Clarendon Street off Grafton Street in Dublin for short-term letting.
