Disabled man forced to live in ‘appalling’ state

Tony Moloney, 44, was forced to move into a temporary home in Clare after his mother’s house in Woodcock Hill, Meelick, burnt down on Jul 14, 2008.

Mary Moloney said her brother, who has hearing and speech problems, was living in terrible conditions. She claimed there was a vacant house in the village which could be rented to her brother if Clare County Council got more finance for housing maintenance and repairs from the Government.
