A Lahinch-based Councillor insists the unregulated short-term letting market in this county is contributing significantly to the housing shortage.
It follows a motion put forward to the local authority at a recent meeting regarding the enforcement of rules around short term rentals here.
In December of 2021, there are 1,575 AirBnB listings available in this county, with hosts earning an estimated €5m per month.
Green Party Councillor Liam Grant believes people should be incentivised to let their holiday homes as long term rentals to help alleviate the housing shortage in the county.
