A couple whose eviction from their Killiney home last year went viral on YouTube have brought an appeal against a court order appointing a receiver over rents from five apartments they own.

A couple who hit national headlines over their eviction from a luxury mansion in south Dublin over a week ago are continuing to camp outside their former home.

Members of the Occupy Dame Street protest movement have travelled to the former Dublin home of Brendan and Asta Kelly to pledge support for the couple.

Finance Minister Michael Nooan has said that the Government has pledged to keep people in their homes, but not in ''21 different homes''.

Reaction to the plight of Brendan and Asta Kelly has been mixed — just like the fortunes of the elderly couple.
