The Irish courts have granted more than 300 home repossessions so far this year.
According to details release under the Freedom of Information Act, banks were given permission to repossess 314 homes across the country in the first six months of 2019.
Some 246 of these were the owners’ primary home.
290 of the repossession orders were granted in the District and Circuit Courts.
According to the figures, 48 orders were granted Dublin.
Meath came in a close second with banks given the go-ahead to repossess 40 homes.
There were 30 granted in Cork, 20 in Kildare and 15 in Offaly.
A further 24 orders were granted in the High Court.
Land league campaigner Gerry O'Boyle said the Government must provide more supports to familes facing the loss of their home.
“There are a lot of families that are suffering with this,” he said. “They are ordinary, decent people here who got caught in the crossfire.
“We have agriculture hitting rock bottom here down in rural Ireland; we have a lot of farmers who are going to lose their farms coming downstream. They are not really making repayments.
“Agriculture is the backbone of rural Ireland and there are going to be a lot more facing [repossession] in the not-too-distant future.”
He warned that once a family is evicted it is the Irish taxpayer who will be asked to pick up the tab.
The only counties were banks didn't get permission to repossess homes were Kilkenny and Sligo.
