A property up for rent in County Cork has sparked debate over the current accommodation rates in Ireland.
The wooden cabin located in Coachford, just 12 miles from the city centre, is advertised to cost €295 per week, bills included with the exception of electricity.
A Twitter account named 'Crazy House Prices' shared the advert on their page, saying it was a high price to "rent a shed".

However, some disagreed with the comments saying the wooden chalets have become a home for many moving out from the city.
They said: "I live in a coastal area, and people moving out from the city to make these chalets home. They will never afford a house where they are from. Properly constructed & insulated they are ofter nicer."
"Modular or wooden is the way for a lot of people. They can be far more attractive than the picture shows," they added, with several people quick to agree with them.
Others agreed with the page, saying that the price of the home made them "angry".
They commented: "Saw this last night. Was doing my nightly house search and this made me irrationally angry. Had to pace around my house a little bit."
The cabin does appear to be more spacious than it initially appears on rental site Daft.ie as users are free to look through the various images on the website that show a modern fitted kitchen, bathroom and living space, complete with parking, wifi, and a smart tv.
The advertiser says: "The cabin is fully furnished with ensuite bathroom and underfloor heating in the bathroom and central heating washing machine come dryer fridge, cooker, stove, Smart television, free parking and Wi-Fi."
"It is Ideal for those looking for a short or long-term letting and provides peace and quiet," they add.
When CorkBeo got in touch with the advertiser, they said that they are very busy with the accommodation, that people live there for long stays but more often shorter ones, and that several people have lived there while they are building their own house.
