A father who is facing eviction has criticised the Government’s trips abroad for St Patrick’s Day, arguing that the €500,000 given to a GAA club in New York by Micheál Martin would have bought his home.
Paul, 40, told the Irish Mirror that he and his nine-year-old daughter will be evicted from their home in Churchtown, south Dublin, on May 31 after receiving a notice to quit on October 24 2022. They have been living there for eight years.
The self-employed worker said that while he has been told he can buy the home he is being evicted from, he would not be able to afford it for another two years. He is now hoping that the council will buy it under the tenant in situ scheme.
