Minister Eoghan Murphy urged to act on mass evictions

Residents of a Cork City apartment block who are facing eviction by a vulture fund have called on Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy to introduce legislation to block mass evictions.

Families and individuals living in the Leeside Apartments have been served notice after the new owner claimed the complex is in need of substantial renovation.

Resident Aimee O’Riordan said those living in the apartments will continue the fight despite a recent landmark ruling from the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) which backed up the vulture fund.
