A Sinn Fein TD has told how she had to move into her parent’s home with her two sons so she could save money to secure a mortgage deposit to buy her own home.
Carlow-Kilkenny TD, Kathleen Funchion, said she can’t imagine how people are coping with trying to get on the property ladder given the struggles she faced despite earning a decent salary.
She told the Irish Mirror: “We were really lucky that my parents had the space and they were welcoming and supportive of us coming back because it’s one thing of me coming back, but I was coming back with two kids as well, it was a lot to ask.
