A disabled woman and her husband who have been on the social housing list for over three years have been made homeless after being told there is “no accessible accommodation” available for them.

Shannen O’Flaherty (27) and her husband Jonas Atzler (28) were placed in temporary accommodation in a hotel in Cork after the local authority said it had no accessible homes available.
