Noel may have solution to tax on property

As home owners face into a budget that is set to bring in property tax, water rates and increased utility bills, a man living in Piltown, Co Kilkenny may have the solution.

Noel Higgins, 39, lives in a self-made 16x8 foot wooden house on wheels. His home is exempt from all the usual bills that a house incurs. His only bill is for his mobile phone.

His wooden house cost a mere €6,000 to build and took less than two months to construct.
