A senior Green Party figure has described some of the State’s responses to the lifting of the eviction ban as “rushed and ill-considered".

Cork City Council member Dan Boyle made his comments during a lengthy debate on housing at April's meeting of Cork City Council tonight during which government party councillors hailed recent housing delivery while Sinn Féin criticised the pace of delivery and called for the extension of the eviction ban.
