It's hoped this will provide more housing options.
Cabin style homes in back gardens could soon be exempt from planning rules.
According to current legislation home owners can build a garage or shed that's 25 Metres squared, incidental to a house and not for human habitation without planning permission.
The Government is considering allowing the cabins to be rented out or used by relatives.
It's hoped this will provide more housing options and allow people to downsize according to the Irish Independent.
Frank Murray, Owner of Murray Architectural Services in Blueball, says it sounds too good to be true:
