More than 5,000 people have entered emergency accommodation since the ban on no-fault evictions was lifted last year, according to Sinn Féin’s Eoin Ó Broin.

The Dublin TD claimed the vast majority of those people who went into emergency accommodation in the last year was a “direct result” of the end of the temporary ban last April.
