Rental Sector
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-11
============================================================

Róisín Garvey (GP), Nominated by the Taoiseach

The question I am asking today is when there will be guidance around planning exemptions for short-term lets for people who have got Airbnbs that cannot be rented out long-term. The answer has not come in that there is no timeline there. Another season has gone with lots of people who have Airbnbs living in fear and wondering whether this will be their last term. Have we sight of any timeline to let people know when there will be guidance given to local authorities? When will there be guidelines on exemptions from planning for Airbnbs? Exactly what is happening? This does not answer my question. I really want to know whether there will be exemptions and when they will be announced. That is what people want to know.
