A number of homeless activists will appear in court today having been evicted from a vacant building in the city centre this morning.
Gardai confirmed to Dublin Live that officers entered Parkgate House near Heuston Station early this morning where members of the Revolutionary Housing League, as well as other homeless people, had been staying. A High Court injunction had been placed on the group last week.
The League, itself an offshoot of the Revolutionary Workers Union, have previously occupied a number of vacant buildings, including the Iveagh Markets, a derelict building on Eden Quay, and Dublin 8 apartments that were being redeveloped for elderly people. They had dubbed Parkgate House "Ionad Sean Heuston" and offered spaces for other homeless people to stay, as well as decorating the inside of the building with murals and hosting concerts.
