Lower paid school staff are fearful of the possibility of homelessness following the removal of the eviction ban.
Linda O'Sullivan is a member of Forsa, a trade union which represents school staff such as SNAs and secretaries. She said that Forsa's members are often at the lower end of the pay scale and are being particularly affected by the cost of living crisis.
Forsa is hosting its annual education division conference in Portlaoise this week, which was attended by Minister for Education Norma Foley. Linda explained that inflation is taking its toll on school staff, especially as the housing crisis escalates.
