A woman and her three daughters were forced to vacate their Limerick council house yesterday after a local authority was granted a court order to repossess it on foot of complaints that the family engaged in anti-social behaviour.

The sheriff and council and court staff attended the repossession at Fairview Crescent, Garryowen. Officials had waited until yesterday after a six-month stay was placed on the order by Limerick District Court.
