Housing Minister James Brown has proposed changes to building guidelines that would allow for smaller, more affordable apartments.

Sinn Féin has strongly criticised the move, calling it “utter madness” and accusing Fine Gael of failing to tackle the housing crisis effectively.

We want to know, what do you think? Could reducing apartment size be the answer for housing?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Eddie Phelan, Chartered Engineer and Managing Director of VCL Consultants in Drogheda, Architect, Artist and Lecturer in Griffith College Roisin Murphy and Ray Cooke, CEO of Ray Cooke Auctioneers.
