Clare Airbnb Host Seeks Clarity On Proposed Short-Term Rental Changes
Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description
Property owners who provide short-term accommodation lets across Clare, Limerick and Tipperary gathered at a meeting in Limerick last night to press local TDs and councillors for clarity ahead of impending rule changes for the sector.
The gathering took place ahead of a nationwide meeting in Buswells Hotel, Dublin next Tuesday, February 24th, and followed last week’s Government decision to tighten regulations around short-term rentals.
Proposed changes include restricting short-term lets in towns with a population of more than 20,000, those properties must be planning compliant and mandatory registration with Failte Ireland.
Sally-Ann Barrett spoke with Airbnb Host Lorna Cahill to discuss how these changes may impact herself and other hosts, she also spoke to Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe and Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney about their thoughts on the matter.
