Council evicts one tenant per month over anti-social activity

CORK City Council has evicted, on average, one tenant every month this year from its housing stock due to anti-social behaviour.

Figures released by city manager Tim Lucey showed a total of 140 people were interviewed in relation to anti-social behaviour incidents since the start of the year in relation to complaints.

Following mediation initiated by council officials, 25 people improved their behaviour and the threat of eviction was lifted.
