Local rules
In most of Dublin, letting a property that is not the host's own home for short stays generally needs planning permission.
- A national short-term letting register run by Fáilte Ireland opens on 1 December 2026; hosts letting for up to 21 nights must register by 31 December 2026 and show the number on listings. In towns over 20,000 people, planning compliance must be confirmed. (source, 2026-08)
