What this means

Ireland is creating a short-term letting register managed by Fáilte Ireland.

Hosts offering short-term accommodation for up to 21 nights must register each unit and receive a unique registration number.

Implementation status

Official guidance states that new rules apply from 20 May 2026.

Platforms must display registration numbers, verify listing accuracy, conduct random checks, remove listings when ordered, and share rental data through the SDEP.

Technical interface

Fáilte Ireland will manage Ireland's SDEP.

Guidance mentions standardised data such as nights rented, guest counts, listing URL, and registration number, typically shared monthly.

No public OpenAPI docs, source code, sandbox, or machine-to-machine onboarding documentation is currently available.
