Perhaps it’s time to implement a real housing strategy when you’re looking at portakabins being rented out as apartments for €1300 a month. At least Leo is clamping down on welfare fraud, take that the working classes, your Irish Tory overlords have your best interests at heart
The Fianna Gael / Fine Fáil ultimate housing plan. https://goo.gl/images/mGUbgc
That’s a beautiful bungalow in all fairness
Heeeeeh heh.
At least it’s in a nice area.
All modular cons
disgusting
You also have to do security in the coal yard which you will be living in.
I was thinking the same. Looks like the kind of place lorries would be reversing into from about 6.30am
Unrivalled in terms of parking spaces, I’ll give them that much.
It’s like something you’d be shipped into Ireland on, in the hold of a ferry
Why does it look like a piece of a tv set?
It’s very flat looking. Are there any rooms in it at all? Is it even a real portacabin?
No lampshade in the bedroom.
Two sets of bunkbeds, a bathroom rota… Perfect!
stupid question possibly but is this actually legal?
Thinking the same, surely they don’t have planning permission to have a portacabin as living accommodation in a yard of some kind ….
A decidedly grey area
Maybe people could start emailing/tweeting these examples of utter abuse to and failure to Eoghan Murphy @MurphyEoghan and Leo Varadkar @campaignforleo ?
They love Twitter these pair.
One of the solutions to the housing crisis is repeatedly being ignored.
Punitive taxation on vacant sites and buildings.
Excellent return on investment, considering you can buy them for €3500

I know they didn’t create the housing crisis, etc. But estate agents really are the absolute worst. “Fine one-bedroom apartment”? Fupp off.

It’s shoved into the site after the building in the middle was turned into 3 apartments. It’s up against the wall on the left beside the dogleg.
The two nearby hospitals are this propertie’s real selling point. For when you mentally breakdown and attempt suicide from living in this grim hell-hole. Help is nearby.
Typical middle class pearl clutching going on here
Whine about homeless problem one minute see a realistic solution the next and keep whining
Literally billions of people the world over would be delighted to live in a hellhole like this in a major capital
OMG. I actually agree with you LS!
I’m sure we both feel a little sick in our mouths right now, Cian.
Let’s not talk about it.
Deal – What happens on BS, stays on BS.
New Delhi for example.
What’s wrong with Indian people or New Delhi? Think we’re better do you?
Realistic solution?…..1,300 for a portakabin?…Gas
OK 1200 then.
Electricity I hope.
I honestly don’t have a problem with this – if it houses someone and they are willing to pay for it it is absolutely fine in a capitalist country like ireland. The situation is that the government is keeping property off the market via nama to increase property prices as well as rent and all this does is highlight this. If there were more solutions like this available maybe we might see a drop in rents etc as people become less reliant on traditional housing. Hard to see FG allowing this though – their raison d’etre is to protect institutions from creative capitalism
Does it actually have a toilet / shower?
Doesn’t show it or mention it on the ad.
what is this patch of tarmac supposed to be? Is it a Storeage yard? Carpark? Why else would you put down tarmac like that?
tarmac is really expensive. probably about ten grands worth there. plenty of room for raised beds for growing food. and a clutch of hens.
It’s the designated area for groups to congregate while they point and laugh.
Pathetic AND deeply ignorant and insensitive. An immigrant family or someone out of direct provision would be ecstatic at being offered this foot on the ladder. Boring, privileged comment from a dilettante.
What ladder? The pay 1,300 a month rent ladder?
It’s all relative isn’t it news?
Are you speaking from a position of wealth, power and privilege? Seems so.
€1300 portakabins renting as accommodation; is a result of a distortion of the market. Your government is complicit in this distortion.
Are you comfortable with your government facilitating and enriching one section of society over another?
Not going to get dragged into this nonsense.
The government doesn’t build houses and has no place doing this.
When it interfered before to increase the supply of housing it resulted in the worst financial crisis we have ever had. I’m much more comfortable with people living where they can afford, for one thing rural Ireland is being depopulated and could do with few thousand people living in portacabins or whatever they can afford.
If you want to live in an isolated bungalow then work harder, or better still go see your shrink.
If this is turns out to be legal then it should be illegal. A morally bankrupt person is putting this up and the estate agent. 1300 euro for this…… my jaw dropped when I saw this.
Doesn’t it need a Building BER Rating?
Strictly speaking no it doesn’t – if it’s exempt from planning which most portacabins would be as they are deemed temporary structures.
renting out a portacabin as a dwelling is not planning exempt. it’s very clear. if you are going to use a building as a dwelling you need planning permission. if you are going to rent out a dwelling for accommodation purposes you need planning permission.
Great – ta for that, I kinda thought that was the case. Fair enough to let friends live there. But to advertise on Daft.ie – the owners and Daft.ie should be prosecuted (some chance).
Without stating the obvious, which I’m going to to ahead and do, despite myself, there would be a lot of crying involved if one chose to live here. I’m thinking of the added complications of mail delivery, services, there surely is not a separate address, it’s on someone’s yard, clearly. It, as other commenters mentioned could not be entirely legal. Although I’ve seen ‘One Bed’ garden sheds on AirBnB in Brighton being offered @ £80 per night?
At least you wouldn’t have to leave your home every July for the rest of your life as it appears you had to do.
I see what you’re saying, but living in a shed wouldn’t be overly ideal persé. There may be additional stored items such as lawn-mowers, strimmers, two-stroke petrol and what-not, which may intrude on day-to-day living activities.
ha did you not see that tarmac garden? I don’t think you’ll need extra space for lawnmowers ;)
People who live in flats, be they portacabins, penthouses, or anything in between, tend not to own lawnmowers.
The whole premise is a joke, such as mine, when living in a shed? I’ve spent a night in a shed whilst walking inebriatedly through country roads ?@ 4am I woke in a garden shed near Moy, Co. Tyrone. I still had 5 miles of a walk to get home. Admittedly, it was a long time ago. (There were 2 lawnmowers and a distinct spell of petrol) – I may have had a petrol high?
This seems like a relevant place to drop the link to this Guardian article – https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/10/no-cooking-in-kitchen-disbelief-amsterdam-rental-flat-rules?CMP=twt_gu
Thats pretty grim.
I squatted in London, post-Uni, who didn’t do that in the late 80s/early 90s?. I investigated buying a boat – I went with my house-mate on a barge to Camden Lock, joined the boat- stoned party to see what it would it be like. Terrible, comes to mind. Damp and a tad swirly.
I didn’t do that. You’ll find most people pay for things Shayna.
that Auctioneer should be ashamed to present that as residential accommodation
it even looks like a commercial yard ffs
Will you be presenting your latest Pulitzer Prize winning effort today Ferally?
woooooo
no
