Temporary victory of sorts for Apollo House activists

It was a victory of sorts, though a temporary one. By order of the High Court, residents of the illegally-seized Apollo House will not be evicted until 12pm on January 11.

“There’s a bigger issue of homelessness, of people being thrown out of their houses,” film director Jim Sheridan said outside courtroom three, on one of the many recesses, yesterday.

“We’re just trying to say the system is unfair and the homeless are the most visible aspect of that,” he said.
