'Our time is getting shorter and we still have nowhere to go': Fears heightened as eviction ban to expire

Irish Property Owners Association said it regrets the decision to lift the ban had not been made sooner 'in order to stem the exodus of landlords from the property rental market'. 

With the eviction ban set to expire on March 31, charities have warned the lifting of the ban will make “a bad situation worse” while landlords “regret” the decision had not been made sooner.

There were 11,754 homeless people in January, the seventh month in a row reaching a record high of those in emergency accommodation which prompted calls by several charities and TDs for the eviction ban to be extended.
