34 people including 15 children living in the Loreto Chapel estate in Killarney face homelessness as their landlord, Cypriot property company, Xerico Ltd, which owns 14 houses there, has begun a mass eviction process. The evictions are entirely legal, with no suggestion by the tenants that the landlords have done anything illegal. Killarney Cllr John O’Donoghue, of the Kerry Independent Alliance, and Conor Sheehan, Labour Party spokesperson on housing, think more needs to be done to protect renters from eviction.
