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:
Not necessarily. A lot of this is managed by data sharing. Thankfully, these days we have a lot of very good systems that can help with that so it should reduce the need for a huge amount of manual resources. The data will come from the platforms on a monthly basis and that will tell us all of the properties in a particular area that have sold accommodation in the previous month. It will give us loads of data, which will be really useful in terms of tourism development, among other things. That data will identify for us cases where any property that is not properly registered with Fáilte Ireland, has a valid registration number and has planning permission in place.
