The Debate: Will garden cabins help tackle the housing crisis?

Call them ‘seomraí’, ‘shedsits’ or just granny flats, the plan to relax rules on garden dwellings is dividing experts

Opponents worry about eroding housing standards, overcrowding, and potential issues in rural areas, viewing it as an insufficient response to the larger problem.
