Extending the ban on evictions would give the Government time to “get their act together” on the housing crisis, a Sinn Féin TD has said.

Louise O’Reilly said the temporary prohibition on no-fault termination of tenancies was an “emergency measure” taken in response to the cost-of-living crisis but she insisted “the emergency is not over”.
