An attempt by a local authority to prohibit Airbnb and other short-term tourist lettings at the gateway to the Dingle peninsula has been overturned by An Bord Pleanála.
One of the Kerry County Council's planning conditions for the redevelopment of a three-storey vacant building in Milltown was that no part could be used for overnight commercial guest accommodation. A second condition sought to prohibit short-term rental in four of the eight units.
