Tenants under threat of eviction after flats sale can stay

The owners of apartments at The Strand in Limerick have withdrawn notices to quit that were issued to existing tenants after an agreed sale to a vulture capital fund.

They were withdrawn following the intervention of Housing Minister Simon Coveney.

The owners said yesterday they are writing to residents affected by the recent termination notices to confirm the notices are being withdrawn and that they will abide by the spirit of the so-called Tyrrelstown amendment legislation, which comes into effect next week.
