Government accused of incompetence over scrapping of short-term let reforms

A spokesman for the Department of Housing confirmed that these regulations had been withdrawn from the EU oversight process, saying this was because “good progress” had been made on developing the Fáilte Ireland registration system.

The spokesman said that at a recent meeting between Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien and Minister for Tourism Catherine Martin it was agreed that legislation underpinning the Fáilte Ireland system would be progressed “with a view to its early enactment and the associated establishment of the Fáilte Ireland registration system early in 2023″.

“In light of the foregoing, The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has therefore withdrawn its notification to the EU commission of the proposed interim arrangements provided for in the 2022 Act. The Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media expects to seek governmental approval for the publication of her legislative proposals in this regard in the coming weeks.”“We must now wait until the Fáilte Ireland registration scheme [comes] online.
