Sinn Féin’s housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin has described the Housing Minister’s handling of the rent freeze and eviction ban as “a shambles” and said that he did not trust the Government in terms of renters.

In a statement on Monday night, Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien said the moratorium on rent freezes and the bank on evictions would be extended until August 1 following discussions with the Attorney General, by which time ministers hope to have new legislation in place which will enable the measures to be put on a firmer footing.
