The plan to limit short-term letting would mean a person cannot advertise a property on platforms without a registration number. The aim is to take as many as 12,000 properties out of the short-term letting sector and make them available for long-term rentals. The letter from the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation , the Irish Self-Catering Federation, the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland, the Restaurants Association of Ireland , the Association of Visitor Experiences and Attractions, and Ireland’s Association of Adventure Tourism will be delivered to Mr Harris on Tuesday.
“Self-catering homes and short-term holiday lets bring visitors from all over the world to rural Ireland supporting local economies,” the letter continues. “Introducing a register, without clearly stating who can and cannot be on it, risks causing untold damage to rural Ireland by arbitrarily closing down self-catering homes and short-term holiday lets in rural communities and tourism towns across the country,” they say.
