The tenants who claim they are owed overpaid rent by former presidential hopeful Jim Gavin were expecting their first baby when they were fighting to get their money back. 

The couple, who had been renting the apartment in Smithfield in Dublin, sought to have more than €3,000 returned to them after it was paid in error to Mr Gavin, the landlord of the property.
