Pensioner weeks away from eviction says landlord notice brings up 'images of Famine'

A pensioner who has just three weeks to find a new home said she feels like she "doesn't exist".

Micheline Walsh, 78, revealed how she was scrambling to find housing while caring for her elderly stroke victim husband. She fears that their age will mean they are too old to wait for a place on a lengthy housing list.

Micheline said she could no longer pay the rent after she lost her job as an administrator for a language school during the pandemic. The couple was given a six months notice to quit the Dublin home she lived in by her landlord last November but that was stalled by the eviction ban, the Irish Mirror reports.
