Today members of D8HAC supported the Irish Housing Network as it endeavoured to negotiate the return to tenancy of a young mother who had been evicted from the DCC approved temporary accommodation facility for previously homeless people.
The eviction occurred on Friday evening in the height of Storm Desmond's torrential downpour as a result of a dispute with the management company over the supply of gas for the central heating system.

This is a picture of what the Gardai did to my friend Pat in Castlebar last week. Pat, almost 55, with a heart problem that the Gardai are all too aware of was "escorted" out of Castlebar Court.

Statement on behalf of Members of CTSL Housing Co-operative who have lost €5,000 on planning permission on the site at Popintree 6 where the modular housing is being placed.
Although the protest was not planned by the Housing Co-op, We would like to thank all of those who turned up in solidarity today. It has succeeded in getting our story told & attracted media attention to how badly members have been treated.
It succeeded in securing an emergency meeting between DCC & a representative of the Co-operative. Talks will be starting Monday on a possible process for refunding members, although no solid commitments have been made.
DCC have made it clear that they are on an extremely tight schedule to have these in place for families for Xmas. It is & never was an objective of the Co-operative to stop homeless people being housed.
The members of CTSL would request that the protests on site are postponed temporarily & would ask that no groups use this as a means to further their own agendas, as at this point it will jeopardise our members getting a refund.
If protest continues on this site for a week the homes will not be delivered by Xmas & it will not matter then if it is January or June. We only maintain any control as long as the Xmas target is still achievable.
The membership would please request that protests are postponed to all allow us time for some negotiations. If we fail to secure any commitments within a short timeframe we can resume protest.
We would request that all groups please honour this & work along side us.

Alan and Kellie have taken a brave stand against South Dublin County Council (SDCC). Their demands were modest. A place that caters for Alan considering his medical condition and a space which can accommodate his son.
South Dublin County Council agreed to these in principle 3 weeks ago. In practice Alan and Kellie have only received urine soaked mattresses, moldy rooms and spaces unsuitable for Alan's son. With that, the media jumped on a story that they were moved up the housing waiting list, a move intended to sow division and hatred for a sick man and his partner/carer. One could think that SDCC are punishing them for standing up....
Last night Alan was sick, a stress inducted seizure, he and Kellie still do not have suitable accommodation, are facing worse conditions and crushing uncertainty.

The Council also offered to house the couple tonight in a hostel. Despite a doctors order that hostel conditions were not suitable for Alan, SDCC placed Alan Kelly in a hostel in the city centre. On inspection the entrance was virtually blocked with rubbish, mattresses were covered in urine and mold was growing on the windows. Alan was in a Coma this year, Kellie is his carer. The stress has already impacted on his health and this was a disgusting move by SDCC. These conditions are not suitable for an animal, no person should face them and Alan physically can not.

Direct provision is a scheme whereby asylum seekers are provided with accommodation on a full board basis with all their basic needs. It was introduced by the government as a pilot scheme in November 1999 (FLAC, 2009).
In 2004 there were 74 centres dispersed throughout the country. Currently there are a total of 34 former Hotels, Holiday Homes, Army Barracks and Convents, located in 16 counties in the Republic of Ireland. There are currently 4360 people living in Direct Provision.

Anti eviction activists protesting outside a very wet Cusack Park in Mullingar on Sunday 23rd August. The protest was against local GAA Club St. Loman's, who were playing a senior championship match at the time. St. Loman's have rented out their clubhouse to the Courts Service which will also hold the Registrar's Court. In so doing, St. Loman's GAA club are facilitating evictions and their action is certainly not in keeping with the origins of the GAA. Anti Eviction Ireland - Midlands intends to highlight this double standard and we intend to keep the pressure up until the people of Westmeath know exactly what St. Loman's Grab All Association are facilitating.

A selection of houses on the drive to Galway. Perfectly reasonable for there to be anger when you see this all over the country and we're told you have to be homeless or pay huge rents because there are no homes available. I belive the response to that is bloody lies!
