Airbnb: 'No evidence' platform is facilitating lockdown breaches

Airbnb has removed or suspended over 2500 listings in Europe which it found to be in breach of its policies on parties. 

Airbnb has refuted allegations by a Cork senator that it is allowing bookings to be used for parties and drinking binges during lockdown, saying there is "no evidence" to back up his claims and that that it takes public health policies very seriously.

Tim Lombard claimed during a Seanad session that the property holiday rental website is 'running amok' during level 5 lockdown by facilitating blatant breaches, including parties and binge drinking in rural areas.
