Kerry woman misses out on buying her home of 12 years

Resident says receivers did not tell her the house was for sale — and she watched later as it was sold online

Caherciveen salon owner Lisa O'Shea described her shock at hearing her home was for sale — in a text message from a friend. 

A Kerry woman has described how her dreams of buying her home, where she has lived for the past 12 years, disappeared in four minutes as she watched on from a computer screen.

Lisa O’Shea, from Caherciveen, had been renting her home from a private landlord for over a decade. Two years ago, the house was taken over by receivers.
