An attempted eviction in Clonlara has been described in the Dáil as both "shocking" and "horrific".
Tipperary TD Seamus Healy of the Workers and Unemployed Action Group, has demanded that the Minister for Justice instruct Gardaí to investigate the conduct of security companies involved in the failed eviction on Friday last.
He's congratulated those in the community, as well as the anti-eviction taskforce for preventing the eviction, saying people power will force the Government to stop evictions and declare a housing emergency.
Deputy Healy says questions need to be raised about the incident.
