The Government has won a motion of confidence in itself following a heated Dáil debate over the decision to remove the eviction ban.
The final vote was 86 in support of the Government and 67 against.
Neasa Hourigan, who is now on the independent benches, voted confidence in the Government. There was uncertainty about her intentions following her decision to vote against the Government in the eviction ban vote last week. She was expelled from the party for 15 months.
