Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that he cannot say how many people may face eviction in the coming weeks.
He made the comments ahead of a crunch motion of no confidence in the Government next week following their decision to lift the winter eviction ban from the end of March.
The motion was tabled by the Labour Party, but has now been replaced with a Government motion of confidence in itself that will be discussed just after 9am on Wednesday morning.
