Harry Barrett claims Airbnb prices drive young people out of County Mayo's rental market.

Local election candidate Harry Barrett claims Airbnb prices are driving young people out of the rental market in County Mayo, with 27 properties on Airbnb for every long-term let.

Barrett states this is having a 'shocking impact' on young families in the area.
