Dublin tech company disallowed from installing sleeping pods in its office

I am not in Ireland and not an expert on this but I often find that there are simple loopholes when there are restrictions on what can be installed. In this case I think they should look at avoiding "installing" anything at all and look for temporary things employees could bring themselves such as quick deployment tents, pads and sleeping bags. Expense all of that as morale, recreation and welfare gear. All that would need to be installed are tall+wide lockers. Have drills / exercises where all the tents and sleeping bags have to be git stashed in the tall+wide lockers within 10 minutes. There are modern tents that can be set up and taken down in less than a minute now. This also leaves the floor open to any activity.

Inspector shows up, they find an empty floor with lockers and a Foosball table or whatever is popular in Ireland these days. Have access badge requirements for that room and the floor to buy time. Put a sensitive server in the room to justify it such as the movie server for the projector that is next to the Guinness fountain. Maybe put in some weights and call it "The Gym". I miss my Irish coworkers.

Having worked at companies with pods for napping, I assumed that was what this was about.

However, they weren’t installing nap pods but rather places for sleeping overnight.

>Councillors say they see what Phorest is trying to do, but that it’s not what the city overall needs.

“I definitely empathise with the CEO and company, said Eoin Hayes, a Social Democrats councillor with long experience in the tech industry. “It’s an effort at creative problem solving, but it’s going against the grain of what we’re trying to do with housing policy.”
