    New article on this matter here:
    http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/were-not-privileged-weve-nowhere-to-go-mother-and-daughter-living-rent-free-in-dalkey-home-with-panoramic-sea-views-35280754.html
    They have a really nice house (look at the living room) and the daughter looks fit and ready to work but she is not really willing to work "Her daughter, who studied psychology, worked in a number of jobs until the recession and has been struggling to find work since": I mean not even finding work to serve tables at restaurants and bars since the 2008 recession (8 years!) is really a bad joke on all the good tenants that work to pay their rent out there.
    If they cannot afford to live anymore in the house they should have looked for rent-allowance accommodation outside Dublin a while ago since none of them actually works. Instead they just chose to stay put and avoid paying rent since they probably got news of the inefficient eviction process and they love to stay in a big house instead of the small studios that rent-allowance caps allow, again it confirms their absurd sense of entitlement. This should be a test case for removing RTB appeal process: they totally abused the system!

    Issues like this plus high tax and rent uncertainty will not encourage investors into the market. Rent will move even higher as less properties available to rent and remaining having to up rents just to keep ahead
