The Government is facing calls to change laws to ban co-living units and stop them becoming "the norm" after a divisive "box apartment" development with rents of up to €1,300 a month was given the green light.

One of Ireland’s best-known broadcasters, Newstalk's Pat Kenny and his wife, Kathy, have lost out in their battle against plans for apartment and housing development on a site adjacent to their Dalkey home.

Propaganda played a central role in the last cold war. Americans were shown in a warm family setting, watching TV , enjoying a Coke.

More than 42 people will be expected to share a kitchen if plans to build a new co-living apartment building in Dublin is approved.

The building firm seeking to construct an apartment block and house plan on lands adjacent to broadcaster, Pat Kenny’s home has offered to reduce the scale of the development.
