Chapter 7 – HOUSING FOR ALL
Page 105, Point 1 - Support the pathways identified in Housing for All to ensure that everyone in the County should have access to a home to purchase or rent at an affordable price, built to a high standard and in the right place, offering a high quality of life. KCDP 7-2 Implement the policies contained in Housing for All to increase Social Housing delivery in the County” – Due to the scale of Airbnb lets in Dingle town and on the peninsula, local families and businesses requiring staff accommodation cannot get long-term rentals. Positive steps should be taken asap to ensure balance in the local social community structures and prevent the loss of local families in the region, weakening local communities leading to a loss in the Irish language and local cultural heritage. This will be extremely damaging to the overall visitor experience as a result. See more observations in the points made on Chapter 5 – RURAL HOUSING.
