**Shocking**: How a Young Family of Four in Louth Spent Over a Month Living in Their Car - 30/03/2026

The “extremely distressing” story of a young family who lived in a Louth car park for over a month after they “fell between the cracks” of two local authorities emerged this week.The couple, originally from Latvia, and their two young children, had been sleeping in their car in a council‑owned car park after being unable to access emergency accommodation.The couple first settled in Galway before their children were born. They moved east, hoping it would help them build a more secure future. He took a job in Drogheda, and they eventually found a rented home in Lusk, Co Dublin, and welcomed two children — a daughter, followed nearly two years later by a son.But their stability began to unravel when their landlord, who accepted rent only in cash and referred to them merely as “guests”, told them they had to leave.We heard all about this shocking story this morning on The Agenda.
