Residents in an apartment building on the northside of Cork city say they are facing homelessness after being served a mass eviction notice.

Resident, Aimee O'Riordan, said: “We got no help from the Government. We were on our own, essentially. It took us to come together to explore all alternative options and to just basically be a stone in people's shoes to get this deal over the line."

Residents of a Cork city apartment block facing eviction by a vulture fund have called on Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy to introduce legislation to block mass evictions.
