Student launches website to get free house brick by brick

A YOUNG student has launched a novel online drive to get a free house — one brick at a time.

Shane Murphy, 20, from Fermoy in Co Cork, has set up a website — www.iwantafreehouse.com — to help him get a foot on the property ladder.

The second year UCC food business student has designed a virtual house and is offering 2,500 bricks for sale to advertisers at €100 a pop.
