On the Home Show this week with Sinead Ryan

Going going gone - Sinéad speaks to auctioneer Colm O'Donnellan, Managing Partner O'Donnellan & Joyce Auctioneers to hear how the migration to online auctions has gone and just how it all works.

Shipping Container Homes - are they the silver bullet we’ve been looking for or more of a white elephant? - Architect Derek Trenaman joins the Home Show to discuss.

Speaking of unconventional building solutions - Ghost Writer Sue Leonard stopped by to chat about her modular garden pod and how it has become a sanctuary for writing.

So, with COP26 dominating the news feed these past few days it is the perfect time to chat about the idea of the 15 minutes City. It’s an approach to city planning that has been adopted in cities like Melbourne, Barcelona and Paris.

But what is it and could it be applied here? Our resident architect Roisin Murphy talks us though concept on the show this week.
