Airbnb intends to cooperate fully with the introduction of short-term online property rental guidelines to be issued by the Irish government. The company has been working closely with local authorities and other stakeholders on this issue for some time. Airbnb has now said it is open to discussions with the minister on how to devise suitable "home-sharing rules". Airbnb has committed to working with Housing Minister Simon Coveney in devising suitable local home-sharing rules to clarify the legal standing of hosts and ensure that the service does not interfere with the availability of rental housing stock, particularly in Dublin.
