Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Bernard O'Shea:

I will take that from the point of view of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Because of the six-month transition and clarification period, we would likely not see the full impact until 2024. Colleagues in Fáilte Ireland can correct me if I am wrong about this estimate, but I recall that when similar controls were introduced in Amsterdam, it reduced the number available from somewhere in the region of 20,000 to 4,000. That was the impact.
