Concern is being expressed that Clare people may be forced into homelessness because of rising rental prices across the county.
Rental prices are now almost 2.5% higher in Clare than they were this time last year, with it now costing an average of €814 to rent a three-bedroom semi detached house in this county according to Daft.ie.
The ban on evictions and freezes on rents which had been in place as a result of COVID-19 expired earlier this month.
