The article highlights a stark contrast in Ireland's rental market, with 20,000 short-term lets compared to only 2,300 long-term rentals. Homeowners are taking advantage of their properties’ visibility from shows like 'The Great House Revival,' listing homes at premium rates on platforms like Airbnb. For instance, a restored cottage in Co Clare is advertised for nearly €3,000 for a week-long stay. This trend raises significant concerns about housing scarcity, particularly as the country grapples with a rental crisis where affordable long-term housing options are scarce.
The imbalance between the number of short-term rentals and long-term housing options highlights a growing rental crisis in Ireland, with just 2,300 available long-term rentals.
