Martin accuses Taoiseach of 'washing his hands' of eviction family's case

The Fianna Fáil leader has accused the Taoiseach of "washing his hands" of the case of a family facing eviction in Cork.

Micheál Martin raised the plight of the O’Sullivan family from Kanturk, Co Cork, during leaders questions in the Dáil this morning and urged Enda Kenny to intervene.

Martin and Claire O’Sullivan, and their three young children, are facing eviction from their family home after Start Mortgage secured an order for repossession after they defaulted on their mortgage repayments for two years.
