Episode Details

Galway’s Community Action Tenants Union is sounding the alarm as short-term rentals flood the city, pushing out locals and driving rents up 100% in five years. With 96% of Airbnb listings operating illegally and ten short-term lets for every one long-term rental, residents are fighting back. CATU demands a total ban on whole-home short lets and fines for platforms hosting illegal listings, arguing tourism shouldn’t come at the cost of making Galway unlivable. A new registration bill is on the horizon, but enforcement remains a hurdle — and time is running out.
