Family subject to eviction order awarded €40,000 compensation

A Dublin family who won a landmark High Court action against an order for their eviction from their council home over alleged anti-social behaviour have been awarded €40,000 in compensation.

Previously the High Court held that Carol and Laurence Pullen, Cloncarthy Road, Doneycarney, Dublin, rights had been breached because Dublin City Council had failed to grant them an independent hearing into the allegations against them.
