The Housing Minister has refused to rule out the return of bedsits.
NEW HOUSING MINISTER Eoghan Murphy has reportedly refused to rule out a return to bedsit accommodation as part of the government’s response to the housing crisis.
The Irish Examiner says the minister described it as “a suggestion” before adding that nothing is “off the table”.
