The Galway City Council “must say ‘No’” to property owners seeking planning permission to change the use of their properties to Airbnb style lettings in the city centre.
This is the view of the Social Democrats Oranmore Local Area Representative, Susan McGrady, who said any “further loss” of long term residential rental properties in the city was “unacceptable”.
She said: “The growing number of families and people who need long term residential stock are forced out of the market as short term Airbnb properties are on the rise.”
