A woman who has been living in Ireland for 22 years has been forced into her car due to the lack of available housing in Kerry.
Sharon Crandall, a 54-year-old originally from America has been living on Dingle beach for two months - refusing to use emergency accommodation because she would have to give up her cats.
She told the Irish Mirror: "I have been living in my car since July 8th, with two cats, and I have not gone to emergency housing because you have to give up your family; your pets are your family. And so I have been living at the beach here, you know, for almost two months now, and it's up and down, it's hard."
