Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 April 2025
499. Deputy Conor Sheehan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of short-term lets granted planning permission in 2024, broken down by county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15815/25]
View answerLegislative reforms to regulate the short-term letting sector through the planning code, in areas designated as “rent pressure zones” (RPZs), were introduced under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (Exempted Development) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 which came into effect on 1 July 2019.
Local planning authorities are responsible for the implementation and enforcement of the short-term letting planning arrangements and submit quarterly data returns to my Department. The information requested in relation to the number of planning permissions granted for change of use to short term letting has been taken from these returns and is provided in the table attached. These figures do not include the Returns for December 2024 which will be available in due course.
