Labour Party Arts spokesperson Marie Sherlock has slammed the lack of artist space in Dublin as a dozen face eviction from Richmond Road Studios in Fairview.
Maeve Brennan, who has been a studio member for 17 years, told Dublin Live that they were sent a letter from the receivers informing them that they had to vacate the premises within two weeks, but no locks had been changed as of Thursday, April 7.
The group of artists who use the space said that Dublin has been "plundered of its creative spaces for years" and have launched a petition to Dublin City Council to give the them more time to find an alternative space.
