Hunger strike mum must wait for home

A MOTHER-OF-FIVE on hunger strike to force a council to move her out of a south Dublin estate plagued by anti-social behaviour was yesterday told she would have to wait for a safe home.

Despite last-ditch efforts to resolve the dispute, Tallaght cleaner Aisling Bent began refusing food at 6am.

The separated 36-year-old claims she and her children have been systematically targeted by thugs in the Glenshane Estate, where they have lived for five years.
