Irish politicians are calling for more regulation of the accommodation sharing economy after it emerged 386 Dublin landlords, whose properties were listed on Airbnb, made more than €21m in 2016. Calls for an annual limit, similar to those imposed by London and Amsterdam, are growing. Fianna Fail, Barry Cowen spokesman on housing, said there was growing evidence that short-term rentals were "substantially eating into permanent residential housing supply in Dublin".
