Cork City Council has 'attitudinal problem' around short-term lets, says councillor

Lorna Bogue said: “Planning authorities should make decisions within 12 weeks of sending a warning letter.”
More than 20 properties in Cork city served with warning letters for allegedly operating unauthorised short-term lets have yet to see a decision made by Cork City Council past the 12-week enforcement deadline.
Data from the council’s planning map shows that over half of these cases have been ongoing for more than a year. One property in Ballincollig was served with a warning letter in 2021, but the case remains ongoing.
