More than 100 people in Limerick and Galway are set to move into new homes thanks to an anonymous €1.5m legacy gift in a will.
The remarkable donation to the Community Foundation for Ireland, which will be split between the Fr Peter McVerry Trust and Threshold, also has the potential to increase advocacy work and tenant protections, and help change the housing debate in Ireland forever, the foundation said.
