Her rent jumped by 50% - but she now has a new home after public outry
The businesswoman told a meeting this week how her family were forced out last month after their rent was hiked from €1,050 to €1,600.
Louth County Council placed the family in emergency shelter, where they had to share one room in a B&B for more than three weeks. Meanwhile, Anthony Moore, a Fianna Fail candidate for the Drogheda Urban constituency, said the town is heading for a homeless crisis. He claimed many of the hard-working people he has spoken with during his election campaign have said they would be forced on to the streets if their landlord put up their rent by just €200 or €300 a month.
