Bedsits to return as Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy plans raft of measures

The Government wants to reintroduce bedsits as part of a raft of measures to combat the housing crisis.

There has been a mixed reaction to the plan, due to be announced by Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy in the coming weeks.

Bedsits were banned four years ago over concerns that landlords were renting dilapidated, run-down accommodation that was inadequate for modern habitation.
