The Irish Examiner released footage of the men packing up their belongings and putting everything, including children's toys, into rubbish bags outside the front door.

The incident took place in a rented house in County Donegal, Ireland. The evicted are a Brazilian-Portuguese couple. The owner's group, who reached the cover of darkness, gave reasons for the eviction, saying that their children would have their social protection taken away from them and that the father would be arrested for theft. They were accused by homeowner of stealing and taking drugs.

In the video obtained by the Irish Examiner, the man in the jacket, identified as a businessman based in Northern Ireland, and his accomplices trashed the family's belongings, including food and toys, in the rain. See you outside.

The children and wife were recorded crying "day and night" on a recording device they set up in a neighboring house, and said they knew the father was a "menace".

In the footage, the father can be heard struggling to verbally defend himself against the allegations in Murry English. Six children, including a mother and an 11-month-old child, were in an upstairs bedroom when the incident took place. Shocking footage shows them removing their personal belongings from the properties and changing the locks.

There is no point in calling the Irish police (Garda) and telling them to go to the hotel for the night because you are now a trespasser and you no longer have a house key. We have now changed that. In the footage, the owner takes the northerner's phone while the children and mother look on helplessly. When he finished taking his father's mobile phone, he handed it back. The family was left with nowhere to go.

The family says the landlord withheld their belongings for four days and then had to negotiate a return. The children's mother was admitted to hospital in Sligo after suffering pneumonia after being kicked out. Now the father and their six children live with friends in Sligo.

He told the house owners that he had booked a hotel room. However, when they arrived at the hotel, the hoteliers informed them that no room was booked and that they wanted a second room with a rent of 300 euros, which the migrant family could not afford, they said.

Now living in a friend's spare room on a temporary basis, the family is now homeless despite both parents working. The couple, who are teachers in their native country, now work as a cleaner and father in a hotel. They had been staying here for two months.

The family lodged a complaint with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB). However in the case of spontaneous evictions that occur without prior notice the Garda carry out an on-the-spot risk assessment based on the legality of the eviction.

However, it has been confirmed that by law, landlords must first give notice of termination of tenancy and must have a valid reason for doing so. The tenant is then liable to vacate, and if not, a dispute must be raised with the RTB. If the tenants still don't move, the landlord can go to court and have a judge issue a Notice of Notice. Only then can the landlord evict a tenant.

When contacted by the Irish Examiner newspaper, the landlord said: “I have no answer. "I have no response" and hung up. According to the Irish Examiner newspaper
