Housing idea for single people - Two’s company

ONE of the unfortunate side effects of the housing crisis is that single people find it especially difficult to get a home, especially from a local authority.

This reality persists despite the fact that around half of the 2,210 people who want a council home in Cork have asked for one-bed units.

It is more than unlikely that their needs can be met anytime soon — especially under current policies which decree that the council no longer builds single-occupancy units.
