Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-15

It seems section 8 seeks to criminalise short-term lets in a rent pressure zone. It deals with the criminal aspect whereas section 7 deals with what amounts to a change of use. I do not think there is a conflict between the two.
