Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show tenant Kate Roche says she is struggling to secure alternative accommodation

So half the people that I know can't afford the accommodation or can only afford the accommodation they are already in. And the other side of it is, that even if you did get a viewing or for an apartment or a house, you also could be there with lots of other people and it turns into like a bidding war"
