Fun fact: The music from the “You wouldn’t steal a car” anti-piracy ad. The super recognisable beat that was used all over the world to discourage piracy?
Well the music was used without permission or credit of the original composer. A Dutch musician named Melchior Reitveldt.
There was a lengthy law battle for him to get any royalties from the use.
It’s ok for Government to put 20 people in a three bed house, but god forbid you want to make a few extra euro doing Airbnb.
Who makes all these stickers? Always wondered

Other countries have put restrictions on what can be used as an Airbnb, like it has to be a part of your primary residence, you can’t just buy a place that a family could live in to turn into an Airbnb.
When the crisis is this bad, your profit is potentially leaving people without a home.
You wouldn’t download a house!
Can we ban Air bnb?
I’d imagine potential AirBnB landlords will pay about as much attention to this as everyone else did to the original, unfortunately.
I went looking for an Airbnb for family coming to Dublin this summer, the prices are mental.
They realistically only need to let them out for a few nights of the month to cover what they would get in rent…..and thats comparing it to already high extortionate rent.
Owners of second homes will not willingly do what is right for the country, they have to be forced.
I would happily, why wouldn’t i move out for the weekend to rent my apartment to a tourist to make extra money? It has no impact at all on the housing crisis.
People really don’t seem to understand what landlords actually use rental housing for. Everyone saying “the landlords have it rough they barely just break even on their rental unit after expenses” seem to be completely financially illiterate ? Do you not understand that even if landlords “only” break even and don’t make a profit on their rental units monthly income that they’re STILL GETTING AN APPRECIATING ASSET FOR FREE , like at the end of the mortgage they walk away with an asset worth 100’s of thousands of euro that has probably appreciated in value massively and all completely at no cost to themfor the most part ?
Housing units for landlords are a way to build net worth not a form of income
Most Airbnb’s in Ireland are illegal, fact.
There are no other answers or arguments to change this.
Fine every single one of them until they are legal.
I would if I thought I could make a profit. the housing crisis has nothing to do with it.
Can we not charge a nightly rate tax that goes to a non profit housing company. So short term let would literally pay for cheaper homes and can target areas that are struggling?
So many people would be turned into lefties (including recent right wingers) if they knew the details behind a lot of policies. The government don’t want to ban or restrict AirBnB despite its very obvious proven impact on the housing situation. But if they did, they are prevented from doing so by the EU, because basically EU canon law dictates the market is not to be interfered with. Similar policies and laws are why the Spanish fishing industry practically survives off the back of Irish waters, while Irish fishermen are screwed by quotas. Why bin collection was privatised and has gotten worse every year since. Why a Canadian teacher’s pension fund gets the enormous value from the Lotto. And on and on and on.
Some Hotels & Hostels in Galway have either bought or leased apartment’s, multiple units to let through the hotel and Airbnb.
All of them do not have the correct planning for short term rentals.
These properties belong in the regular rental market, long term PRTB registered.
(This is not an argument or a stance on this issue. I’m asking a question)
What’s wrong with Airbnb’s? Does it make the housing crisis worse? If so, how? Is it ok that I set up an Airbnb in my rural house in county Derry while I’m away on holiday?
My family comes first. If I thought it would benefit us to do so, I probably would.
If you own the property then of course you should be allowed to use it as an Airbnb. If the government want to encourage long term rentals then give small landlords a tax break to make long term rentals financially competitive vs Airbnb.
I would if I had the room and my house was nice enough.
I would. Fuck the housing crisis I want money.
And I would download a car too !
I can hear that sticker
All I can hear is Dara O Briain shouting ‘you wouldn’t steal a car’
And then obviously the original warning vid 😅
I would actually, yeah. The solution for the housing crisis is build more housing so my Airbnb-ing would have basically zero effect on solving the problem.
So much ire at AirBnB. Meanwhile in a country with a working housing marketing (eg not the US, UK or Ireland), more housing would just be built when prices were high, causing there to not be said crisis.
AirBnB just ain’t the main problem, mate. It’s your lovely next door mom and pops who don’t want to have more neighbors near them – and get their way.
I atuomaticly hear the music when I see this font 😂

AirBnB is a tiny facet of the market.
The bigger problem is a political system that is hostile to one-bed apartments and other such dwellings.
When your main opposition objects to apartments because people would rent them, you’ve no real hope. https://www.independent.ie/news/mary-lou-mcdonald-among-objectors-to-1600-apartment-build-to-rent-development-in-her-dublin-constituency/40802647.html
