Pat Doyle is to step down from his post as CEO of the Peter McVerry Trust at the end of May, while calling for an extension of the eviction ban and the establishment of a new housing executive to drive a programme of building and acquisition around the country.

Mr Doyle is stepping down after 18-and-a-half years in the role, during which time the organisation has expanded from two services, 13 staff and 24 clients, to approximately 800 staff, revenue of €50m and being the fifth largest supplier of housing in the State in 2022.
