CATU Galway will lead an 'Airbnb walking tour' of Galway on Wednesday, July 22 as part of their Homes Not Holiday Lets campaign. The Community Action Tenants Union (CATU) Galway have announced a walking tour in Galway this Wednesday, July 22, to highlight the "worst black spots" in the city for Airbnb and short-term lets. The tour expands on their Homes Not Holiday Lets Campaign, which they launched in February 2025. The campaign hopes to enforce proper legislation for short-term lets (STLs), including a short-term tourist letting register with a capped amount of STLs. Over the past decade, there has been an 80% increase in rents in Galway with over 600 homes in Galway city listed as a STL.
