The Opposition motion over lifting the eviction ban is just playing politics, the Tánaiste has said, claiming that the tenant in situ scheme to buy rental properties from landlords was already being put to use to save people from homelessness.
Micheál Martin said the focus and challenge for Government now is getting houses and apartments built faster to catch up with population growth.
