In the north inner-city, tenants of 15 years evicted so council can buy their home
Dublin City Council is buying 40 homes in the Northbank apartments. It is not clear how many tenants have been evicted for the deal to proceed.
“The problem can, realistically, only be resolved by state intervention,” writes a UCD political-economy lecturer.
The government says it has increased its spending on the sector, plans to increase it more, and is planning an independent review.
