A Green Party TD has complained to the Advertising Standards Agency for Ireland (ASAI) regarding AirBnB in Palestine.

Patrick Costello, TD for Dublin South-Central, wrote to the watchdog last month after noticing more than 20 examples of the short-term rental agency listing holiday homes in illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land in the West Bank as being in Israel.
