“Hardly a week goes by in which we’re not asking each other to make difficult decisions or cast votes in the Dáil on very difficult topics,” he said. Ms Hourigan is a constituency colleague of Mr Donohoe.
He said when “dealing with a difficulty of such scale” the Government was “always considering different options”. Ms McDonald said by lifting the ban, the Government and “those who back them” are choosing to “escalate the housing crisis that was already out of control”.Sally Rooney: Renters are being exploited and evictions must be stoppedSinn Féin put forward a motion on Tuesday calling for the eviction ban, which is due to expire at the end of this month, to be extended until January 2024. TDs will vote this evening on a counter motion put forward by the Government.
The Fine Gael leader said Ms McDonald was creating the impression that 4,000 notices to quit in the last three months would result in “4,000 families needing emergency accommodation”. He said this was not the case and there had been 19,000 new tenancies in the last three months and that the vast majority of families would find alternative accommodation.
