Over 400 repossession cases brought before Cork court since start of year

More than 400 repossession cases have come before Cork Circuit Court since the start of the year.

Yesterday, 93 cases were scheduled for hearing at the courthouse in Washington Street, where a number of groups gathered to protest against home repossessions.

Brian McCarthy, of the Anti-Eviction Taskforce, claimed there is an “epidemic of evictions” across the country and that 676 cases were heard across Munster in January alone.
