Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

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

2:00 am

Ms Ann-Marie O'Reilly:

That is exactly our concern. Where the building's intended purpose was for it to be a long-term home, that is where our focus is. There has definitely been a difficulty in identifying those properties because of the absence of accurate data. I hope with the register and information from planning, that gap will be filled. We have seen a particular issue arise in Galway, which Mr. Murtagh might make mention of because it is a student town or city with high levels of tourism.
