The high demand for holiday accommodation in West Cork is causing many low-income households to be made homeless, with services saying they have never seen housing pressure like this before.
The increasing popularity of staycations means the pressure for accommodation in scenic rural towns and villages in West Cork is now more acute than ever, according to Novas homeless support services.
