Any eviction ban put in place would be a “one off measure” for the winter period that would not be extended, Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has said.
While proposals are expected to be discussed in depth over the coming days, Mr Varadkar warned that there is “no perfect answer” to the problem and said that moving too far could lead to landlords selling their homes.
Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien tabled proposals for an eviction ban last Friday and is expected to discuss these ideas with stakeholders this Monday afternoon.
