Mother’s ladder protest fails to prevent eviction

A MOTHER-of-three yesterday staged a seven-hour protest on top of a ladder in an attempt to prevent her family being evicted from their Dublin council house for running up €13,000 in rent arrears.

However 48-year-old Ann Moore’s protest was in vain as the council eviction was eventually completed.

After returning from a night shift in a local nursing home at 8am, Ms Moore started her protest.
