Students may be forced to drop out of college when the eviction ban lifts as they would have no other accommodation available, advocates have said.

The warning came as political parties, representative groups and unions urged the public to turn out for a protest on April 1 at Leinster House, the day the Government is due to lift the eviction ban. All of these bodies warned of the immediate and “devastating” impacts that lifting the eviction ban could have.
