A protest by Killarney householders facing eviction will be taking place today.
The residents of Loreto Chapel estate have joined forces with CATU, the Community Action Tenants Union.
Up to 35 people, including 15 children, are facing eviction from Cypriot property company, Xerico Limited.

CATU members will also be attending the council’s budget meeting tomorrow in support of the tenants.
