He stated that his wife only returned in October 2021 because her visa was due to expire in January and that they are now living in a small room paying €800 per month and are struggling to survive along with €289 per month for storage of their belongings." RTB decision: "Mr. Synnott was acting in the vicinity of the dwelling in this case in a large digger and that the dwelling in this case was severely damaged such as to render it uninhabitable. At the very least his actions were reckless in using that machine in that manner that close to the dwelling in question in particular where he was attempting to demolish a dwelling which shared a party wall with the dwelling in this case... These are serious consequences and caused the Appellant Tenant serious loss distress inconvenience and expense including at a time when he did not have the support of his family"
