The short-term let crackdown misses the point

Thu, Jul 02, 2026

There is something quietly absurd happening in Irish accommodation right now. Across the west of Ireland, residential properties are hosting tourists on Airbnb while hotel beds in regional towns are occupied by long-term residential placements, including emergency and refugee accommodation. Houses built for families are full of visitors. Hotels built for visitors are, in many cases, no longer available to them. We have inverted the entire logic of how accommodation is supposed to work.

Housing is no longer a social problem; it’s an economic one

Thu, Jun 25, 2026

On July 1, Ireland takes over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union for the next six months, and for the first time, housing will sit near the top of that agenda. That is not a coincidence, and it is not just an Irish story. Across Europe, the conversation about housing shortages has shifted. It is no longer framed primarily as a social issue. It is now being framed as an economic competitiveness issue, and that change in framing is hugely significant.

The European Commission has been moving in this direction for some time. The European Parliament backed a European Affordable Housing Plan in 2024, and Brussels has formally acknowledged housing as a social emergency affecting citizens right across the bloc. But the more recent and more interesting development is the language now being used alongside that. Housing shortages are increasingly described as a barrier to labour mobility, to investment, to attracting and retaining talent, and ultimately to economic performance. In other words, when workers cannot find a home, the economy suffers.
