I thank the Senators for the recommendation. There is already work under way across the Government with regard to short-term rental. The proposed short-term letting and tourism Bill that is being developed by the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media will provide the statutory basis for the establishment of a register for short-term lets in Ireland and for the implementation of the new EU short-term rental regulation, which was adopted by the EU on 11 April 2024 and will come into effect from May 2026.
