The Ceann Comhairle threatened to suspend the Dáil on Thursday afternoon following a furious row between Tánaiste Micheál Martin and Sinn Féin’s Pearse Doherty about the eviction ban.
It was the third day in a row that the Government’s decision to lift the eviction moratorium on March 31 dominated Leaders' Questions in the Dáil.
Mr Doherty told Mr Martin that the coalition had made a “cold and cruel decision to make people homeless”.
