The garden shed thing works well in situations. Like back in the 80s, my sister lived in a mobile home in the garden while she worked and saved. It's not a long term solution as highlighted above.
We were very lucky in my family. There was an old old house on the land where my father had his builders' yard. A few of took turns living there rent free while we saved (cheap security).

You know who the shed situation suits?

People who already have houses who want to make money renting another house.

Meanwhile, new attendance figures for Ireland’s 14 greyhound tracks in 2024 show Youghal stadium, which was saved from closure via a last-minute bailout in 2023, had just two paying customers for the entire year.
In statistics released to People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy, GRI said Youghal had 8,840 attendees over the course of its 131 meets in 2024, an average of 67 people in attendance per night.

However, some 8,622 of those in attendance were owners and trainers, while 216 of them were bookmakers.

The track recorded just two old age pensioners as paying attendees for the entirety of 2024.

My mother-in-law wants to sell her house and rent in Spain for 6 months and live in a caravan in Wexford for 6 months.
I’ve a feeling that they’ll end up living with us, so if we could build something out the back and they can keep some independence, it’ll be a god send.

I'm in my mid 40's and on the internet at almost midnight and the internet knows my age.
Maybe i could get a job in the ad targeting division of the garda.

It just reminds me of when developers put planning notices in obscure publications, or when court reports for donegal turn up in kerry publications. i.e. they don't actually want people to apply.

I feel like i'm slightly to old to get a robocop suit, while slightly too young to be one of the authoritarian lads with metal arms in starship troopers.
