General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Fergal O'Leary:
We will have authorised officers with powers similar to those of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and broadly similar to those of the Residential Tenancies Board. They will have powers to inspect properties but, given how the system is being set up, it is unlikely that they will have to do this. One is obliged to have a valid Fáilte Ireland registration number if one intends to advertise a property. Again, that is efficient and allows us to do checks nationwide according to a desk-based arrangement.
