Still living with the parents? RTÉ2 is looking for YOU for a new show
It's extremely tough to get your foot on the property ladder at the moment, and rent prices in Ireland have skyrocketed in recent years.
With Irish rent prices at an all time high of €1131.00, more people than ever are choosing to remain in the familial home to save funds for the future.
RTÉ is looking for people to take part in a new series, which explores the not-so-unusual phenomenon of adults living at home with their parents.
The series hopes to explore the phenomenon of the ‘Boomerang Generation,’ which refers to young adults who leave home for work or college, only to be forced back into the nest.
This Crowded House aims to meet adults living in the family home and helping them put a plan in place to move out and live independently.
Whether they would like to rent their own place, house-share, or are seeking to buy, the participants will get expert help to get them on the right track.

The series will also explore how the parents feel about having their not so little ones back in the family home.
With nearly 1 in 4 Irish adults between 25 and 34 still living at home, the series is set to expose the social realities of living at home with parental units constantly present.
