Sinn Féin has proposed a new bill to ban co-living developments across Ireland.

Housing spokesman Eoin O'Broin said that he is aware of more than ten planning applications for co-living in Dublin. These developments sees tenants share kitchen and living facilities while renting one small private bedroom, measuring 12sqm, roughly the size of a disabled parking space.
