Emma O'Hagan lives in a descriptively accurate ‘Tiny Home’ in County Leitrim that she bought off the internet and placed on family land.
Emma O’Hagan and her partner have come up with a novel way to sidestep the housing crisis – by taking downsizing to a new level. “It’s a fairly small structure, it’s 25 square metres and we have it made from timber,” Ms O’Hagan told “So, that means we’re reliant fully on solar power; we have our own shallow well and an eco-dry toilet.”The pair moved in two months ago and Ms O’Hagan said “all is going well” - although when moving in the couple had to really think about what they needed.“We actually had been travelling for a couple of years prior to getting the tiny home, so we had already decluttered a lot of stuff.
