Homeless families living in hotel in receivership offered 'suitable alternative accommodation'

All of the homeless families living in a hotel which is now in receivership have been offered “suitable alternative accommodation”, Dublin City Council said yesterday.

Lynam’s Hotel on Dublin’s O’Connell St has acted as an emergency shelter for homeless families in recent months, but it must cease trading by next Monday.

While the future operation of the hotel will be decided in court next week, all of the families were told to leave by the weekend.
