They believe they are "essentially homeless"
Families in Dublin say they have been left "essentially homeless" due to delays in receiving the keys to their affordable new homes.
A total of 52 new homes in the Hayestown estate in Rush were made available under the government’s Affordable Housing Scheme, and were first listed for sale in May 2023.
Of the first phase of buyers, 14 have received their keys and moved in.
One of the new residents, Erica Delaney, says she was originally given a moving in date of last March.
