Newly elected TDs urge Cork's Eden residents to resist eviction

Opposition TDs have urged tenants facing possible eviction from a residential development in Cork City to stay put and resist moves to kick them out.

Anti-Austerity Alliance TD Mick Barry and Sinn Féin TD Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire both said they would support any tenants who resisted attempts to force them out of their homes ahead of tomorrow’s deadline for affected tenants to leave the receiver-controlled units in the Eden residential development in Blackrock.

Notices of termination of tenancy have been issued to tenants of 35 of the 127 receiver-controlled units in the development. It is understood 20 units have already been vacated.
