'Twenty years of failed accommodation policies has resulted in this crisis': Pavee Point call for eviction ban

Traveller rights groups have called on housing minister Eoghan Murphy to intervene and ban Traveller evictions until the accommodation crisis is over.

It comes as five families, including 28 children, face eviction from an old school site in Balgaddy, Clondalkin in Dublin where they have been living since last year. The families have said that there is nowhere else for them to go.
