Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

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

2:00 am

Aubrey McCarthy (Independent)

Two weeks ago, the Cathaoirleach mentioned Youghal. I wonder about areas that are rich in tourism. I am thinking of rural towns, perhaps on the Wild Atlantic Way. If the regulation reduces supply in those areas, what alternative accommodation will we be looking at? Will the Government invest and provide State grants for alternative accommodation? This is the enterprise and tourism committee. If the Government does not, will it negatively impact our tourism market, which has already been impacted?
