Families to be evicted from emergency hostel on election day

The families, currently housed in a hostel on Mountjoy St, were told they would have to leave the building within a week. Mother of three Aisling Kenny and her partner Mark are one of the families told they will have to leave next week.
“On Thursday, two council officials came to the building and said we have to leave on the day of the election. At that point, they wouldn’t say where we were going, or why we had to move. All they said was they were trying to accommodate us,” she said.
