General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Terry Sheridan:
Yes. The purpose of the 2019 legislation was to regulate the properties in the sector and strengthen the provisions so they could be enforced properly and so owners would have to have the necessary planning permission. The legislation was introduced under the planning code. We encountered some difficulties in enforcing the provisions adequately. As I have mentioned, we were not helped by Covid, which occurred shortly after we introduced the provisions.
