Town’s drug-dealers escape eviction

PROBLEMS in evicting drug dealers living in local authority housing in Killarney were highlighted at a town council meeting.

Replying to calls for action, town clerk Michael O’Leary said the only person that could be evicted from a house for antisocial behaviour was the tenant.

“In most cases, it’s not the tenant that’s creating the problem, but someone in residence or in part of the household,” he pointed out.
