John Paul Doyle faces a High Court injunction over unauthorised occupation of council housing, reported on 26 April 2016.

Longford County Council sought an order requiring Doyle, his wife Frances and their five children to leave a three-bedroom house in Kenagh, County Longford.

The council said the family had no permission to live there and that it had no suitable accommodation available for them.

The family accepted they were wrong to enter the property but said their circumstances left them with no other option.

The case was adjourned until May while both sides explored whether private rented accommodation could be secured.
