Hundreds of Dublin homeowners using Airbnb to rent out their properties may face punitive action under a new initiative to clampdown on abuses of city planning.
Dublin City Council is stepping up its enforcement activity on landlords who do not have the correct planning permission for the short-term lets.
The move has been welcomed by politicians and some campaigners, who say that the online service is contributing to a housing crisis in the capital.
"It has led to the removal of thousands of homes from the rental market that could instead be housing families," said Labour senator Kevin Humphreys.
