81-year-old woman who paid rent faces eviction

AN 81-YEAR-OLD woman is being evicted from her home of 58 years by Wexford Borough Council — despite being up-to-date with her rent.

The Local Authority last Wednesday pinned an eviction notice to the front door of 16 Wolfe Tone Villas in Wexford town, the home of Elizabeth Busher since 1952.

Elizabeth, who suffers with Alzheimer’s disease, has been a resident in St John’s Hospital in Enniscorthy since 2005, but makes twice-weekly visits back to the two-up two-down terraced house where she and her late husband, Pat, reared their family.
