General Scheme of the Short-Term Letting and Tourism Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Rose Conway-Walsh (Mayo, Sinn Fein)
That is a key point about the local authorities knowing the areas best and being able to have flexibility to get the balance between the housing need and tourism needs in an area. Has Ms O'Reilly come across evidence suggesting the proliferation of short-term lets has directly resulted in evictions? Is there any concrete evidence of that? Has Threshold been contacted by renters who have experienced this?
