Is a house share not co-living just in a more likely environment to foster passive aggressive notes on fridges and grudges over couch use.

Yes. It’s a massively ineffeicent form of it.
I’d say they’d be heaven to a 23 year old graduate up from the country to train with one of the Big 4.

You’d put up with that for 1/4 of the price

You could say the same for shanty towns.
That Ireland, as rich a country as there is in the world thinks its fine to charge a thousand euro a month for its struggling youth to live like that is a bit grim, and celtic tiger esque.

Fine Gael is set to remove the party whip in the Dáil from Dún Laoghaire TD Maria Bailey over her controversial personal injuries claim against a Dublin hotel.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is expected to announce next week what action will be taken against Ms Bailey on foot of an internal party report into her claim against The Dean hotel on Dublin’s Harcourt Street for falling off a swing.
Party sources had previously said there were three options open to Mr Varadkar if he wanted to sanction Ms Bailey: replace her as chair of the Oireachtas housing committee, remove the party whip from her or deselect her as a general election candidate in Dún Laoghaire.
A number of party sources now say Mr Varadkar is likely to opt for the first two options. However some party sources said a final decision had yet to be made. It is not known for how long the whip would be removed from Ms Bailey. A Fine Gael spokesman declined to comment. Ms Bailey did not return calls or messages.
The moves will be a tougher line than many in the Fine Gael parliamentary party had been expecting, with most TDs believing Ms Bailey would be asked to stand aside as chair of the housing committee, although some, such as Dublin North West’s Noel Rock, thought her actions were incompatible “with Fine Gael values”.
Fine Gael appointed a barrister, David Kennedy SC, to “establish all the facts” in relation to Ms Bailey’s now withdrawn action against The Dean hotel, where she alleged she suffered injuries after falling from a swing in the hotel bar in July 2015.
‘Overstated impact’
Mr Kennedy’s investigation is understood to have found her claim overstated the impact of the injuries she suffered as a result of falling from a swing. Mr Varadkar has said Mr Kennedy’s report will not be published.
Ms Bailey has already been chosen as a Fine Gael candidate at the next general election.
Fine Gael this week made some changes to general election tickets, such as deselecting Senator Ray Butler from the Meath West ticket. Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe, who is the Fine Gael director of organisation for the next general election, told his ministerial colleagues that further difficult decisions on election tickets will be made in the autumn. However, it is seen as likely that Ms Bailey would retake the party whip before the next election.
Nail on head.
Ireland doesn’t, a private developer does. His risk whether he’ll generate sufficient demand.
There has been a serious amount of whining over this. Completely ott from the usual professional doom and gloomers to whom everything is a crisis
We’re 200Bn in debt, you clown.
You really are a thick.
Ah princess, don’t say that.
Again, more nonsensical BS.
Co-living works throughout the world.
Some people don’t like it because they think everyone wants a garden, a living room and a kitchen. The price point includes utilities being paid for, which is not standard in rentals. The place will be fully furnished, things like cooking utensils are all there are replaced regularly…
They are simply providing another option for people.
Seems to be a lazy effort and will do little to solve the bigger issue… Young people could afford rent and easily found it 5/6 years ago…
Just seems like more bluster to show they are trying when they are doing very little.

It’s becoming a question of when and not if Ms Bailey will get the bullet
