Ms Sarah Cronin-Falvey:

The registration system has been tied to one tick-the-box question, namely, is this property planning permission compliant? We could tick that box in all good faith but we do not know what we are supposed be compliant with. The Deputy asked what the ramifications of continuing would be. Approximately 6.5 million guest nights were booked in Ireland through short-term rental platforms alone in 2023. That is his answer, right there. Where will these people stay? Where will the overseas visitors who come to Ireland stay if we are not in operation? We are just the same as thousands of hosts across the country.
