The Housing Minister is to propose restrictions on short-term rentals next week. It comes as concerns have been raised over the number of short-term rentals compared to long-term. Currently, there are over 3,000 properties available short-term in Dublin on sites such as Airnb and only 1,200 for renters on other sites. Labour Senator Kevin Humphreys who introduced a bill to regulate the sector says action needs to happen now. "So hopefully now with the announcement from Minister Murphy we will begin to see real progress."
