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 council hopes to apply for a grant to repair the circular bandstand, which is damaged by corrosion. But first it needs to list it – also, the title deed is missing.
Publican Paul Clinton says the seating areas outside the pub are part of the legal licensed area, but are not beer gardens. “It’s furniture on the grounds.”
Dublin City Council says it is working through a long list of recommendations to assess whether they should be added to the list of protected structures.
