Watch: Meath home demolished in early morning operation, as owner says 'send the bill to Mickey Mouse' because her family can't pay

"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 526 sq m house "will come back on the taxpayer" due to their financial situation."

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 they cannot afford the expenses involved in the process.
