People Before Profit have submitted a bill to Cabinet proposing a ban on winter evictions.
The bill will seek to ban all residential tenancy evictions until March 2023. The political party stated the bill is a direct response to the cost of living crisis and is warranted due to the current housing emergency.
People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett stated that the bill would be discussed on Wednesday if Government did not act beforehand in addressing the issue. He said that an eviction ban was “well past time” and fully legal due to the current housing crisis.
