Proposed emergency measures for renters could leave tens of thousands in debt, warns Ó Broin

Measures to protect renters in emergency Covid-19 legislation to be debated in the Dáil on Thursday could leave tens of thousands of renters in debt, Sinn Féin’s Housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin has warned.

The legislation, which will be brought before a marathon 11-hour Dáil session, promises changes to the Residential Tenancies Act for three months.
