Rent Prices Increase By 15% In Co. Wexford Since Last Year

Sinn Fein in Co. Wexford has accused the Government of "loosing control of the housing market".

The party's Enniscorthy TD, Johnny Mythen, made his comments after a new report published yesterday which showed rent prices in Wexford increased by €1,120 euro. It represents an increase of almost 15% since last year. However, Fianna Fail Senator Malcom Byrne, says the issue will be resolved as more houses are constructed.
