๐Ÿ  Rents

The nation is grappling with a series of tragic incidents, including fatal road collisions in County Waterford and County Wexford. These accidents have resulted in at least two deaths and multiple injuries, prompting concerns for road safety. Meanwhile, the ongoing accommodation crisis sees a new development as University College Cork urges landlords to lower rents to alleviate pressure on students. This comes amidst broader discussions on housing policy, with disagreements emerging over proposals to increase Help to Buy funding in the upcoming budget. The government is also under scrutiny, facing accusations of using protected disclosures legislation to conceal information, alongside the deportation of over 40 individuals to Georgia at significant cost. In other news, the continued presence of a convicted criminal in Dublin, with victims awaiting an investigation, has drawn attention. Reports also reveal the seizure of over 300 stray horses across the country in the past 18 months, predominantly in Limerick and Dublin. Separately, tributes are being paid to Liz Lynch following her death in Limerick, and a story highlights the financial necessity for some to work beyond retirement age.
