‘My late husband’s wedding ring was in there’ – landlord junks €40k of tenant’s goods

A landlord who was ordered to return up to €40,000 worth of furniture and belongings to a tenant he illegally evicted has claimed that he was “forced to dispose” of all her items. Gabriela Lake and her youngest daughter were unlawfully evicted from their rented home in Skibbereen, Co Cork, last October and have been fighting for the past six months to get their possessions back.
