People living in council homes can earn up to €14,000 a year tax free
The rent-a-room scheme looks set to be extended to people living in council housing.
It's hoped the move would see between 14 and 28 thousand new homes become available.
Currently those who own their own homes can rent-a-room and earn up to €14,000 a year tax free.
The Irish Independent reports Cabinet has agreed to extend that to council tenants, with many council houses currently 'under occupied'.
