🧭 Episode Overview

In this episode we speak with Sarah Cronin Airbnb host and spokesperson for short-term letting hosts in Ireland, about the Short-Term Letting & Tourism Bill coming into force in 2026.

This legislation will radically change how short-term rentals — including Airbnb, self-catering cottages, and holiday homes — are regulated across Ireland. Sarah explains what the Bill really does, who it affects, and why thousands of small hosts fear it could end their businesses.
