'This is a really determined single mother': Herself film tackles tale of housing crisis
Clare Dunne in Herself.
Clare Dunne was auditioning in New York a few years ago when she received a distressed phone call from her friend. The working mother of three had become the latest casualty of Ireland’s housing crisis, with notice to leave her rented home and nowhere else available. She told her friend she had no option but to declare herself homeless in a bid to get temporary accommodation.
“It was the beginning of the housing crisis where you'd go on Daft and there was nothing,” says the actor.
