That's according to Social Democrats TD Cian O'Callaghan, after news that Airbnb owners in high rental areas didn't apply for planning permission for short-term lets.
The Irish Independent has reported there are plans for a national register which would force Airbnb hosts in rent pressure zones to apply for planning permission.
Deputy O'Callaghan hopes it'll work:
