Description:Creedon refers to his current status and the threat of eviction "my little place had been put up for sale in July for arrears of rent and rates which began to accumulate during the Black and Tan regime, when neither my boys nor myself could with safety do anything around the place. The sale did not come to anything, for nobody bids in a case like that, so I don't know what their next move will be".
