TDs table motions on housing and water despite threats of hung Dáil

Politicians eager to get their teeth stuck into debates about changing society as well as ways to restore cash-starved services have tabled several motions for the new Dáil.

Despite a hung Dáil looming for some weeks, parties and non-aligned TDs have submitted various motions for debate on matters such as the health services, Ireland’s neutrality, the right of women to abortion, the housing crisis, and water charges, some of which are expected to be raised tomorrow when TDs return for a one-day sitting.

Following the notice of eviction given to 200 residents in Tyrrelstown, Dublin, some Independent TDs want to highlight the lack of security for tenants and renters.
