Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 January 2022
302. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of short-term let properties issued with warnings in relation to required change of use permissions cross tabulated with if the notice was complied with and the enforcement case closed by local authority in 2019, 2020 and 2021, in tabular form. [3426/22]
View answerThe information requested is provided in the two Tables below. Table 1 provides information in respect of the period July 2019 (when the short-term letting regulations - i.e. the Planning and Development Act (Exempted Development (No. 2) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 235 of 2019) - were introduced) until the end of Q4 2020. In that initial period, local authorities were not requested to identify and report on the number of enforcement cases that were satisfactorily resolved. However, Table 2 - which provides information from 2021 onwards - includes information regarding the number of enforcement cases satisfactorily resolved; this can include a number of scenarios i.e. the registration of properties by their owners with the relevant local authority, compliance with planning permission, or ceasing of short term letting operations including returning properties to the long-term rental accommodation market.
