Evictions on Old Youghal Rd 'unfair' says relative of former landlord
The step-daughter of the former landlord of apartments on the Old Youghal Rd has spoken out about the evictions taking place there.
Joyce Tierna says her family have come under fire for the evictions even though they're part of the protest against them.
Residents of six apartments were issued with eviction notices on the grounds of renovation however many of the residents say they have no where to go and are facing the real prospect of homelessness.
Two demonstrations have taken place outside the apartments in the last week and speaking to RedFM News at last evening's protest Joyce says she and her family have nothing to do with these evictions, and they say if they had, they wouldn't be happening:
