Dublin mum 'living in shanty' begs Council for housing update

A Dublin mum is begging Dublin City Council to tell her when she will be housed as herself and her children are "living in a shanty".

Jodie Murphy is a working mum of two young girls currently renting a flat in the north inner city from a private landlord. She became homeless two years ago and was temporarily in emergency accommodation before qualifying for HAP.

Jodie told Dublin Live that since she moved into the flat "there has been nothing but problems". She said she was due to be housed by the council over the summer, but believes this didn't happen due to her housing file being lost.
