A Kerry mother, who has two weeks left to find a new home, says she has “no options” left due to the number of homes being used as short-term or holiday rentals.

Lisa O’Shea, from Cahersiveen, says she will be left without a home in a fortnight after the house she had been renting from a private landlord for 12 years was taken over by receivers.
