A Dublin family of six have opened up about facing homelessness at the end of the month due to the lifting of the eviction ban.
Earlier this week the Government announced the eviction ban would be lifted from March 31, arguing that keeping the ban in place would drive more landlords from the market. The decision has attracted fierce criticism and was labelled "cruel and heartless" by Sinn Féin’s finance spokesperson Pearse Doherty in the Dail today.
Speaking to RTE's Morning Ireland, a family of six living in Donabate said they fear becoming homeless next month as the house they have rented for the past three years is being sold by the landlord. The family, who are HAP tenants, have to be out of the house by April 12 but have not found a new place stay.
