Bedsits could be part of housing strategy

Bedsits may be on the way back as the Government examines a number of measures to solve the housing crisis.

Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy said he is examining the controversial measure as he defended the Government’s housing policies even as its central measures are under review or at risk of being scrapped.

Despite house prices being projected to rise by double digits this year and missing a July 1 deadline to move homeless families out of hotels, Mr Murphy said the Government is doing all it can to address the crisis.
