MUM-of-seven Margaret Cash says she has been told to move out by Friday.

The young family made headlines this month when her six sons were forced to sleep in a garda station.

Margaret, 28, spoke of her relief last week as they moved into a three-bed apartment on Parnell Street in Dublin’s north inner city.

But after being told they could have the pad for a week on a trial basis, and then month-to-month after that, Cash was devastated to hear of the latest setback.

She wrote on Facebook: “The landlord needs the apartment back because he has it let from the 2nd of September.

“The council got my hopes up they said it was long-term on a month-to-month basis.

“No such thing, what do I tell my kids? I really can’t cope with this, feel heartbroken.”

Speaking to the Irish Sun late last night, Margaret admitted she felt unable to tell the kids about the fresh blow.

She said: “How can I tell them? They’ve been getting settled, putting the posters up on their walls.

“I don’t know where they’ll be enrolled in school because who knows where we’ll be then? How are they supposed to make friends?

“The landlord was lovely, a really, really nice guy but he told me he’s agreed to let it to students from September 2nd.

“The council say they’ll have a flat on Friday but how can you trust them after what’s happened?

“They said it was still temporary and we’d go on a trial month, then hopefully it would be semi-permanent after that.

“They say there’ll be a place on Friday — but for how long?”
