Just 1.3% of short-term lettings compliant with planning laws

Register for all short-term lets to be introduced from May

Recent figures showed that there were nearly 22,000 properties advertised on short-term letting websites.

Just 1.3% of short-term lettings are compliant with planning laws, it has emerged.

The Oireachtas committee on enterprise, tourism and employment discussed the planned Short Term Letting and Tourism Bill, which will introduce a register for all short-term lets from May, with Fáilte Ireland in charge of implementing and managing the register.
