Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

Briefing on Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of a Short Term Letting and Tourism Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Niamh McGuire:

No. The same regulatory requirements will apply. Under EU Single Market rules, the offer of tourism accommodation is treated as a service, so the same rules apply across the EU. Whatever regulatory requirements they have in place in France following the introduction of the short-term rental regulation will apply in Ireland, bar the State having the right to, in some way, impose a planning requirement. Other than that, the regulatory requirements are the same.
