Family told to leave council house

A family who moved in to a vacant council house without permission have been told to leave by the High Court. 

Longford Co Council yesterday secured orders against John Paul Doyle, his wife Frances and their children in respect of a three- bedroom house at Casey Court, Kenagh, Co Longford which they moved into changing the locks some weeks ago.

The court made the orders after being informed the family was not accepting alternative accommodation outside Longford. The couple said there is no way they will take the four-bedroom house offered to them.
