Fianna Fáil’s Dublin Bay South candidate Deirdre Conroy decided as a landlord it’s “better to stick with what you know” after what she considered a bad experience with a Latvian tenant.
She also considered letting her linen cupboard to a student.https://t.co/s90wohdKqS

This morning/afternoon.
In February 2013 Conroy, having already let one room in her Clonskeagh home, met a “handsome” prospective tenant for another she’d put on the rental market. In a blog she kept at the time titled Diary of a Dublin Landlady, she gave this man the nickname “Kovac” in reference to ER character Dr Luka Kovač…
….By the end of March, Conroy had found a replacement tenant: “I am especially relieved with my current lodgers, after the Latvian experience, better to stick with what you know if you have to share your house,” she wrote…
…Conroy took issue with “Kovac” receiving Child Benefit, despite it being his right under European Union law…
“It will take the property tax of six houses in this cul-de-sac to meet the annual child benefit to one 5-year old in Latvia, where they will be getting their own benefit anyway, and that’s just one child living abroad.”
