Grove Island Evictions

A2LUE42 · 21-04-2017 11:57am #1

Seems a lot of people are being evicted to empty some of the apartment blocks. News cameras there at the moment and the local councilors vying to see who is the most outraged.

And one of the evictees had just helped free a trapped swan before finding out about the eviction apparently.

Grove Island Evictions in 2017 you had the same thing happening in 1998 just before the boom greedy landlords in Mass Evictions sell up and cash in and look where the got us in to the Irish economic collapse in 2008 and depression for a decade ten years.

Unless any of these landlords are 300 years old and have English accents, I don't see how it's relevant.

I've deleted some posts, stay on topic, and don't make wild accusations about the owners of the properties please.

For devil's advocate sake - is renting just renting ie you are not the owner? Not even Fionn MacCumhaill and the Cuchullain united can change that fact, not to mind 1916.

An asset owner is always allowed sell their asset in a free economy. Otherwise you have restraint of trade. Too far down that road and you have Cuba. Without the sunshine I may add. Who wants that prospect?

At a human level of course I would be upset for anybody who regularly met their rent and felt established there. But it goes to show the value of owning your own place in the long term. If you are just renting and not paying a mortgage, it might be more frugal month to month, but - prepare for the prospect of being moved on somewhere down the line.

Have to agree. If its a rental, you are not guaranteed much. Its always a possibility this will happen, be it a vulture fund or a man renting one house as his nest egg.

Are they being given notice of eviction or just turfing them out?

Alan – who pays rent of €550 a month – added: “I think it’s all about money. Someone is trying to make a fast buck at our expense”.

I've nothig but sympathy but what does he expect - LL's, from 'crack of the arse' accidental LL's like myself to these funds, are investors. At some point it's time to sell. The whole sector needs a radical overhaul to encourge security of tenture. All the last round of fiddling about has done is encourage people like me who might be swayed by the plight of an indivdual tenant to exit the market.

It seems like everything is above board. It's not the state who owns the properties, they are getting proper notice.

I certainly feel for someone being told they need to get out, hopefully they can find alternative accomodations.

However that attitude did in fact cause the 19C evictions which were eventually legislated against.

It's possible to allow asset ownership with protection of tenancy.

Does asset ownership only include the right to sell to those who will utilise the asset just as you did though? That would be quite a restraint.

These cases are interesting from an economic justice viewpoint if you have the luxury of being a detached observer.

The tenants do have a degree of protection, already laid out in law.

I don't see how it could be extended much further then it is already. More time wouldn't help these people anyway, in this case.

People have a right to sell.

They do but there is already extra steps where there is more than ten units. We have to be careful here, these funds can sell, but if they're selling to another fund there is no reason the tenants should be affected.

The f*cking irony of it! Between this and the new maternity hospital in Dublin I wonder do people bother looking into the history/current status of stuff before purchasing?
