Short-term renting platforms like Airbnb will be subject to tighter restrictions under new regulations put forward by Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien.

This has taken many properties off the long-term rental market and led to increased rents and more competition for housing in urban areas, according to Minister O’Brien.
