Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

General Scheme of the Short-Term Letting and Tourism Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Sarah Cronin-Falvey:

Those are all very good questions. I do not have any answers for any of them because we are all operating in a total vacuum. We do not have guidelines, a planning statement or a structure that will give ourselves and our businesses certainty to work around and to work through. When we contact local authorities, we are told they do not know and to come back to them when they know. We would love to be able to have certainty. When we talk to hosts around the country, that is what they ask for. They are asking us those exact same questions and we do not have those answers but we need them to be able to continue to earn our living.
