Cost of living Ireland: Protestors take to the streets as eviction ban ends

Protestors demanded that the government bring back the eviction ban in a large demonstration earlier this afternoon.

The Cost of Living Coalition, founded by Eddie Conlon, organised today's demonstration as concerns over the housing crisis spike. The latest homelessness figures, released on Friday, revealed that over 8,000 people were relying on emergency accommodation in Dublin alone.

Tenant James O'Toole was among the crowds today calling for government officials to reverse their decision on the eviction ban, which was officially lifted today. He risks being evicted from his long term residence in Tathony House now the ban has been lifted and called on people in similar predicaments to fight against the decision.
