I raise the planning regulations on short-term letting that will come before the Oireachtas this week. Last Friday, Catherine Sanz reported in the Ireland edition of The Timesthat Airbnb is trying to pressurise the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, to delay the introduction of the new rules. As the Minister is aware, these regulations have been a long time coming and should not be delayed any further. The deadline has already been extended by one month. Will the Minister confirm the 1 July deadline will not be changed and that these regulations will be enforced from that day forward?
