Priory Hall residents to march to highlight legal limbo

Priory Hall residents will mark four months out of their homes with a protest march tomorrow to highlight the legal limbo in which they are trapped.

Almost 250 homeowners and tenants, evacuated by court order from the Dublin apartment complex after it was declared a fire hazard, have been in temporary accommodation in hotels and other rental properties since October.

Dublin City Council, which secured the evacuation order, is trying to get out of paying for the alternative accommodation and an application to that effect will be before the Supreme Court on Thursday.
