Photos of the house (august 2003) and story of the eviction notice-

This was a little later as they continued to do their best to make it habitable, and lets be honest they did all the right things- They slept there. They ate there. They sheltered from the Cold wind and Harsh rain there and there they enjoyed their nourishing veggie stews.

And they all learnt a lot throughout the experience and none of them stopped being homeless after for unspecified reasons the Dublin authorities evicted them despite support from a wide range of society including their neighbours.
