Tenants union to host workshop in Clare county town

A NEW pressure group designed to help tenants who are in trouble will hold a workshop in Ennis this weekend.

The Clare branch of the Community Action Tenants Union (Catu) will host the event from 1.30pm to 4pm on Saturday next, February 25.

It will take place at the Clare Public Participation Network's offices located in Clon Road Business Park in Ennis.

The workshop aims to provide training to tenants who are grappling with rent hikes, the threat of eviction, or unresolved maintenance issues in their homes.

Additionally, it will offer a supportive space for those who feel isolated or outnumbered.

Catu Clare says it is committed to ensuring that its members have the support and resources they need to fight for their rights.

"We are not outnumbered, we’re out organised! Join Catu and organise together across the entire community to use our strength to win collectively on concrete issues. Stop evictions. Demand maintenance and repairs. End homelessness.” said Aisling Hedderman, Catu's national training officer.

The training programme will cover a wide range of topics, including effective communication, power mapping, and campaign planning. It will also provide attendees with the chance to connect with other tenants and share their experiences.
