A group of housing activists have protested after they and a homeless camp were removed from a site in Dublin 8 by gardai and Dublin City Council.
The incident happened at 7:30am on School Street in Dublin 8 on Tuesday morning, when housing activists from the Revolutionary Housing League claim that they were removed by gardai and officials from Dublin City Council. Speaking to Dublin Live, Laure Duez from the group said they been camping out at the site for a month-and-a-half, and that they initially camped out to raise awareness about a vacant building across the street.
She said: "We tried to bring awareness about the vacancy of the building to the public, and to also make it a shelter to anyone who needed shelter, particularly with the winter coming in. They evicted the camp a couple of weeks ago and then we came back, and now at around 7:30am on Tuesday the gardai and Dublin City Council evicted us again.
