Govt 'should make it illegal for landlords to evict people into homelessness'

A couple needs to be earning at least €75,000 between them to have any chance of buying a house, according to homelessness campaigner Fr Peter McVerry.

Fr McVerry is criticising the Government’s housing strategy after research from the Jesuit Centre shows homelessness, rents and the cost of a house have all increased since the Government launched its 'Rebuilding Ireland' plan.
