230 people evicted for antisocial behaviour

MORE than 230 people have been effectively evicted due to antisocial behaviour across Dublin while others have sought a house transfer to escape antisocial neighbours.

Statistics received by the four local authorities in the capital show that at least 233 people have either been evicted from a property, excluded from a property or given up a property as a result of carrying out antisocial behaviour in the past three years.

The figures, provided to the Irish Examiner by Dublin City Council, Fingal, Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown and South Dublin County Council, show that at least 21 properties were vacated in the same period by people seeking to move away from those carrying out antisocial behaviour.
