Cork Mother Living On A Beach has Hit Back At Critics
Keely Jones and her nine children can't find anywhere suitable to rent near her family in East Cork
A mother of nine who's been living on a beach in Youghal since last week has hit back at people who have described her living arrangements as a stunt
36-year-old Keely Jones is entitled to a HAP payment worth 15-hundred Euro a month, but can't find anywhere to rent near her family in East Cork
She and her family were made homeless last November after six years in their rented property and she moved into a tent at Kilmore beach.
Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show on Cork's RedFM Keely says she had no option but to move her family to the beach in order to keep them all together
