'Send the bill to Mickey Mouse' - Rose Murray says cost of demolishing Meath home will 'come back on taxpayer', as early morning digger arrives at property

"The owner of the house stated that Meath County Council "may as well send the bill to Mickey Mouse" because they cannot afford to pay it."

"Rose and Chris Murray claimed that the cost of demolishing their home "will come back on the taxpayer," highlighting concerns over financial responsibility."

Contractors have begun demolishing a house in Faughan Hill, Bohermeen, after a lengthy 20-year battle over its lack of planning permission. The owners, Rose and Chris Murray, expressed their inability to cover the demolition costs, suggesting that Meath County Council should send the bill to Mickey Mouse. They believe the financial burden of the demolition will ultimately fall on taxpayers, as the house measures 526 sq m and has been a point of contention for two decades.
