70 households at risk of homelessness after being told to leave Cork city apartment block

The Dáil has heard 70 households are being told to quit an apartment block in Cork city because the landlord wants to carry out refurbishments.

Update 8.30pm: The Cork apartments at the centre of an alleged “mass eviction” was on the market earlier this year listed as earning €676,000 per annum with “strong potential to increase annual rental income through refurbishment and active asset management”, write Stephen Rogers and Niall Murray.

“Substantial” refurbishment and renovation is the reason being given by its new owners for telling the residents they need to leave.
