Calls For West Clare To Be Designated A Rent Pressure Zone

Calls have been made for the West Clare Municipal District area to be designated a rent pressure zone by the Residential Tenancies Board.

It’s estimated there are around 250 active Air BnB listings in the West of the county, which earn on average over €1,400 per month.

Lahinch Green Councillor Liam Grant says the disproportionate emphasis on short term lets in the area can’t continue.
