A demonstration’s taking place outside Dublin City Council this afternoon, urging the council to save the tenants of Tathony House from eviction.
Last year, over 100 residents of the 35-apartment block in Kilmainham were sent eviction notices as their homes are to be sold – now they’re calling on the local authority to act.
