Limerick families vow to stay and fight after being told to leave their homes

Up to 40 families who were instructed to leave their homes in a Limerick apartment complex intend to stay and fight, as they have nowhere else to go.

About 100 people living in the Shannon Arms apartments, located on Henry Street, have been told to leave their homes either permanently — on the grounds that the apartment is to be sold — or temporarily while substantial refurbishments take place.
