A Dublin woman and her eighty-year-old mother facing homelessness were among demonstrators outside the Dail this evening protesting the lifting of the eviction ban.
The Dail are set to debate Sinn Fein's motion to extend the eviction ban to January tonight with votes to be cast tomorrow. The current ban on evictions will expire on March 31.
Whitechurch native Rachel Keely moved to Arklow with her husband, Fanore, in recent years after becoming temporarily homeless due to being unable to find rental accommodation in the capital.
