The rent freeze and eviction moratorium has been extended by eleven days, and will now lapse on August 1.

Minister for Housing, Darragh O'Brien, says he has received legal advice from Attorney General Paul Gallagher that the restriction on a landlord's constitutional property rights is now "at variance" with the easing of lockdown.
