A Dublin councillor has described the escalating housing crisis as a "perfect storm" ahead of an end to the eviction ban.
Labour Councillor Joe Costello said that more measures were needed to ensure housing needs were met across the city. The news of an end to the temporary eviction ban caused outrage earlier this week, particularly as homelessness figures hit a record high for a seventh consecutive month in February.
The ban itself will be removed from March 31, with deferred tenancy terminations taking place on a staggered basis from April 1 to 18 June 2023. Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien has said that measures supporting social housing will be brought into effect following the removal of the ban.
