Dermot Bannon’s Super Small Spaces

RTÉ One, 9.30pm

Dermot visits a couple in Phibsboro who have transformed a former warehouse into their home.

He also meets father-of-five, Derek McCarthy, who came across his cabin in the woods while on business in Poland. He was so taken by the small structure, he had one imported so he could create his own quirky hideaway in his back garden. And it has a newly-installed outdoor shower and a bar with beer on tap.

Dermot also helps a County Louth man who wants to create his own desert island.
