Clare AirBnB Host Warns New Legislation Will Have 'Devastating Affect' On Clare Tourism

A Clare Airbnb host says new legislation affecting her industry could be devastating for Clare's tourism sector. The Short-Term Letting and Tourism Bill requires hosts offering properties for up to 21 nights to join a national register operated by Fáilte Ireland. The legislation will introduce a range of enforcement measures, including fixed-payment notices for non-compliance with inspections. Miltown Malbay short-term let host Lorna Cahill says ambiguity over the criteria will force hosts out of the market.
