People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett called for the Government to support the eviction ban bill.
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT have warned of an “avalanche” of evictions and further spikes in homelessness if the eviction ban is allowed to lapse.
“The government hasn’t taken the sort of emergency measures that we actually need to stem the flow of people into homelessness and to address the wider housing crisis,” Boyd Barrett said. People Before Profits’ bill is currently being supported by both the Peter McVerry Trust and the Simon Communities of Ireland.
During the press conference, a landlord who is currently homeless due to the eviction ban, Jeanette Brown, told people who were gathered there that there are small minorities of landlord who are unable to move back into their property.
