The measures have been long-delayed
Laws to limit the number of short-term lettings are set to be finalised at cabinet today.
The measures - which aim to bring more properties being used as holiday lets into the long-term rental market - have been long-delayed.
It's unlikely to be passed in time for this summer's holiday season, but when in force it will see those leasing Airbnb style accommodation require planning permission and made register with Fáilte Ireland.
It's unlikely to be passed by the summer due to a row between Ministerial Departments.
Housing Minister James Browne will update the Cabinet on the plans for a register to clamp down on AirBnB and make more of those properties available to the long-term rental market.
The move has been promised for years but the Departments of Housing and Enterprise have been blaming each other for delays.
Sources say a policy framework is now agreed and the Department of Enterprise will now proceed with drafting the necessary legislation.
