Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien has defended the Government's decision to allow the moratorium on evictions lapse.
Homeless charities and TDs, both opposition and Government, have voiced concern about the end of the eviction ban which they say will lead to thousands of newly homeless people. There have been record breaking numbers of people accessing homeless services for the last seven months.
New figures released by the Residential Tenancies Board showed 4,741 Notices of Termination were issued between July and September of last year. This compares with 1,132 from January to March and 1,666 from April to June 2022.
