Resistance Writings 2021
Declan Boyle, ex-SDLP Belfast City Councillor, and notorious Holylands landlord has seemingly been hounding former tenants for nearly a year and a half.
A CATU Belfast Member has informed us that even though Boyle did not return their deposits (amounting to £1100), alleging damages and maintenance costs, over a year later he emailed these tenants demanding more money for repairs! Threatening the tenants with small claims court, they paid up, and Boyle had agreed that this satisfied his requirements. Thankful to be rid of this pressure, the tenants thought this would be the last of Boyle. But it was not to be.
Last Monday, Boyle sent another email demanding yet more money from our fellow member - this time to cover court fees for a court process the tenants were unaware ever took place!
We reached out to Boyle yesterday morning as office hours began, but to no response. You can read our email in full below.

At least 60 people lost their lives on our streets last year, RIP, and still very little connection as to WHY 35k+ homes are lying vacant in Dublin ????
It's time for a #VacantHomeTaxNow to start providing homes for people.

Just talking to Tina and a few of our volunteers who are on the streets tonight. 18 year old girl walking around no shoes on her feet because the DCC aided by the guards threw her belongings into a skip another lady wanting to take her own life because of the cold. Are team had to help put gloves and socks on people because they were so cold. Welcome to Ireland 2021. Homeless people are being left to die
