Briefing on Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of a Short Term Letting and Tourism Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Rory Hearne (Dublin North-West, Social Democrats)
Does the Department have any concern about how councils are essentially going to be certifying these units of accommodation and short-term lets in terms of fire safety standards? Given the pressure councils are under, does the Department have any concern that the deregulation of accommodation in back gardens, for example, is going to lead to a proliferation or an increase of substandard short-term let accommodation?
