Varadkar: Judges will be 'very reluctant' to issue eviction notices

The Taoiseach said: “Eviction notices can only be issued by the courts and I would expect those numbers to be very small.” 

The Government is trying to minimise concerns of a wave of people being made homeless following the lifting of the eviction ban next week.

At an EU summit in Brussels, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said judges would be “very reluctant” to issue eviction notices. “I think people often mix up termination with evictions,” he said heading into the meeting.
