The deadline for the receipt of Quarter 1 2021 returns from local authorities in relation to short-term letting was Friday 14 May last. As of 19 May, 12 of the 22 local authorities impacted by the short-term letting regulations have submitted their returns. My Department is following up on the outstanding returns and will update the available data as returns are received.
My Department does not collate data regarding site inspections of short-term letting properties. However, it requests information regarding the number of investigations commenced, which may lead to a site investigation in certain circumstances. This and the other information, available as of 19 May, requested by the Deputy is included in the table below:
