⏰ Today is the day! After months of hard graft, the CATU evictions database team are proud to announce that Topevictors.ie is now live! Drawing from RTB data, you can now see how the lives of tenants have been impacted by greedy landlords across Ireland. Explore now!

📊 CATU members have used RTB data to develop a database on evictions in Ireland, and have analysed it to identify the worst culprits. With a profile for each of the 353 worst evictors to expose how they operate and help us to organise against them! Launching tomorrow!

🧩 Putting Evictions on the Map CATU members have used RTB data to map illegal and legal evictions in Ireland. Unlike media narratives that frame evictions as isolated incidents, these maps show otherwise, affecting entire communities. Launching Feb 20! 🔥

🚨 CATU evictions database update! 🚨 CATU members have compiled a database of over 350 illegal evictions. This powerful tool will expose corrupt landlords and their interests. We’re building a website and report to support eviction resistance! Launching soon! More on our IG!
