The minister said that a decision would be kept in consideration but he couldn't predict if homelessness would fall in 2023.
NO DECISION HAS been made by the government on extending a ban on evictions despite record homelessness figures, Darragh O’Brien said today.A new record high of 11,632 people are homeless, according to the latest official figures released on Friday – including 8,190 adults and almost 3,500 children.
“The eviction ban runs to the end of March, but at scale, there’s no cliff edge to it, it runs in many instances to the middle of June,” he said.Tenancies that were less than six months old when the ban came into place will continue to be protected until 18 June. “Any measures that are brought forward obviously have to have legal consultation with the Attorney General and his office, but we’re keeping this under very, very close review,” O’Brien continued.
