Don’t be tempted to offer unregistered tourism accommodation – you could end up with a £5,000 fine.

Mr Skelly says all tourist accommodation must be registered with his department by law, to make sure properties are insured and maintained properly.
He’s warning those offering unofficial places to stay could be leaving themselves open to a variety of legal troubles in future:
