It's claimed Government "brainfreeze" is leading to an unregulated short-term let market in Clare and consequently forcing young people out of Ireland. The Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill drafted during the summer would require providers on platforms like AirBnB to have a valid registration number with Fáilte Ireland for their short-term lets. For the week beginning on November 25th, there are 799 available properties on AirBnB in Clare. Lahinch-based businessman and Independent General Election candidate Paddy Murphy says it's "disgraceful" that young people are competing with prospective short-term let providers for homes.
