Rent Pressure Zone Extension: “Landlords are Being Treated as Rogues” – June 23rd, 2025

That’s the opinion of independent Kerry County Councillor Brendan Cronin who represents the Killarney Municipal District. Since Friday, the whole country is being treated as a rent pressure zone which means that owners of short-term lets need to apply for planning permission. Prior to Friday, Killarney had been the only RPZ in this county. Cllr Cronin said owners of short-term let properties in the Killarney area have been very unhappy with this status since it came into effect there in 2020. He spoke to Treasa Murphy.
