Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien has denied that there is a "row" between himself and the Attorney General Paul Gallagher over the extension of the rent freeze and ban on evictions.

Reports suggested that Mr O'Brien and Mr Gallagher are at odds over the constitutionality of continuing the measures, which were brought in at the beginning of lockdown and were due to expire on Monday.
