  1. >In August 2020, when she was asleep she woke up due to banging and smashing and jumped out of bed where she saw approximately 15 men, all wearing masks, and that they came into her room.

    >She stated that she was not properly dressed and that they were shouting at her to get up and get out, but she fell down.

    >She indicated that they smashed a number of items including the toilet, her blender and her sound system and that she telephoned the Gardaí as she genuinely feared for her life as a group of unknown men were attacking her.

    >. . .

    >The tenant said that when the Gardaí arrived, they allegedly indicated that she and other tenants had no right to be in the dwelling and did not listen to them

    >She stated that she ended up outside the dwelling and was “wearing very little which was very disturbing and seriously against her culture”. She further outlined that she had to remain outside the dwelling for 12 hours on that day almost three years ago.

    >She said that the men had smashed a number of items and carried them (away) from the dwelling.

    >The tenant further outlined that the golden jewellery she owned had gone missing and that it was in a box that was taken on the day, it was an inheritance and that she cherished it.

    Tenants wearing very little being kicked out of a property by thugs who smash the place up to make it uninhabitable and steal belongings while the Gardaí look on.

  2. Surely entering a premises unlawfully in masks and smashing up the place is grounds for criminal prosecution against both those individuals and the person who sanctioned it?

  3. Question. When people get awarded whatever amount from the court do they actually get it or is that a different story?

  4. “Illegal evictions don’t happen” is the line you see on here often, this is the kind of shit that happens. Don’t know how many times I’ve heard of landlords using groups of fellas to reef out tenants.

  5. I increasingly worry that violent revolution will be the only option left to us over time!
