Clare Short Term Let Host Says Bookings Plummeting Due To Misinformation

About this episode

A Clare Short-Term let representative discusses the decline in bookings due to misinformation about government regulations.

A Clare Short-Term let representative says bookings in this county have plummeted due to misinformation surrounding government regulations. The coalition had planned to introduce a register for all AirBnBs by Summer, but this legislation could be as much as two years away, due to policy drafting delays. The planned reforms would also restrict short-term lets in towns like Ennis and Shannon where the population is above 20,000. Voluntary AirBnB Leader for Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, Lorna Cahill insists tourists can continue to book stays in confidence.
