General Scheme of the Short-Term Letting and Tourism Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Rose Conway-Walsh (Mayo, Sinn Fein)
I will go to Irish Host Community. I very much take what the previous witness said about not all short-term limits being the same. I can see the difficulties, particularly around granny flats or where accommodation is linked to the primary residence. I will ask about building and fire safety regulations, the necessity to register those properties as short-term lets and compliance with building and fire safety regulations. Will that have an impact on hosts' ability to get insurance? Do they have any concerns about the removal of that requirement and what impact it might have?
