That’s the view of Limerick Fianna Fáil TD Willie O’Dea who feels it’s ridiculous to see Minister Coveney attempting to intervene for the eight families in Grove Island when he had the chance to prevent such mass evictions from occurring as recently as last December.

Deputy O’Dea, who is party spokesman on Social Protection, pointed out that Minister Coveney rejected a key amendment to the Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 that would have prevented mass evictions from taking place.
