Their grandchildren are going to love visiting granny and granddad in their log cabin! It will be a nice change of scenery from their co-living studio.
This just reads like an advertisement about how great the government are for changing planning laws, when the government has caused this issue in the first place. Also, these planning laws aren’t in effect yet so that couple would technically be against the planning regulations with their log cabin.
Let’s call it what it really is: a fucking prefab
Where do they get them logs? Non-existent Irish forest?

>The couple are for now living in Tone’s parents house, near Mullingar, Co Westmeath, while they await planning permission for the garden cabin
In case anyone thought they bought land and were building it in the forest.
Why is this news?
How much does a log cabin cost? €40K+? I feel like they’ve money to just buy .
I’m glad they have parents who own a house with a big enough garden to build in. Yet again the government assumes everyone has family who is able and/or willing to support people.
The over-reliance on family to provide what the government should be looking after, and the assumption everyone has that sort of support network really irritates me.
Needs must, fair play to them. Tap out of that excessive mortgage rental trap.
I mean this shite relies on the notion you’ve a mammy and or daddy with a garden big enough to build a house on. C’mon like
> They estimate they may have to live in this log cabin for the next decade. Tuohy says it will not be “our forever home, but it’s going to be a long term home”.
That’s a bit grim
Look at this professional couple who get to live in a shed. This country needs to cop itself on.
Every other house in my estate has one of these, they’re hardly news
