Up to 14 families are facing eviction from their homes in a Killarney housing estate due to a decision by an investment fund to sell the properties.

A Dublin-based management company started issuing notices on behalf of the Cypriot-registered company to the families in June telling them they have six months to leave their homes in the former convent grounds beside the local national school.
