Controversial co-living accommodation could be banned under a new proposal tabled by Sinn Féin.

The party's housing spokesman, Eoin Ó Broin, will use the party's private members time on Tuesday to table the bill to remove the law which allows ministers to alter planning laws without a vote from the Oireachtas, and removes from building standards the co-living and built-to-rent guidelines.
