A Senator has said a landlord evicting nine elderly and sick residents from a retirement village - one of whom has dementia - is the “lowest of the low”.
The properties are located in the Sonas Retirement Village in County Sligo and owned by Nasso BK Holdings Ltd.
The tenants of six properties have received eviction notices in November, demanding that they vacate their homes by June.
Senator Nessa Cosgrove said she recently met with two of the residents facing eviction, Elizabeth and Frank Stewart.
Both are in their 80s and Frank is a wheelchair user who has dementia.
“They moved into this retirement village in good faith that they would be spending the rest of their years there,” she explained.
“They sold their own house a number of years ago, but felt that they were too old to buy a new house.
“So, they decided to rent and so it was set up for their needs. It's all on the ground level.
“But they're being evicted into homelessness.”
The Stewarts’ son, David, also lives in the retirement village with them.
He is disabled and has also been issued with an eviction notice.
“Evicting very vulnerable people and elderly people and people with disabilities into homelessness is the lowest of the low, in my opinion,”

Thanks to Nathan Collins for dropping Cristiano Ronaldo up to the airport this morning.
Ronaldo was released from his pocket just after 10am and was through security and onto the plane back to Portugal by 10.15.
Sent off in style. For the second time on the trip. 👋
St Patrick booted the snakes out of Ireland.
The Irish people voted them back in.
Praying that beautiful country comes to its senses and kicks the globalists out.
