Law sought over mother who froze to death

FAMILY and friends of a Dublin mother who froze to death in her flat are demanding a law in her name to protect other tenants.

Rachel Peavoy died from hypothermia in her flat in Ballymun in January 2010 on one of the coldest days of last year.

Members of Justice for Rachel Peavoy protested at the Dublin City Council offices in the north Dublin suburb yesterday, demanding to know what action officials have taken on tenancy procedures since the inquest into her death over two months ago.
