An asset management company is seeking the imprisonment of 19 adults because they will not leave their rented homes in north Dublin.
In a case due before the High Court on Tuesday, Pepper Finance will say the 12 households have no legal right to remain in the houses at 31 Richmond Avenue, Fairview, and 21 Little Mary Street, Dublin 7. They will say the tenants are in contempt of a previous court order to vacate the properties.
