Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-01
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

As the Minister is aware, many of us on this side of the House welcomed the introduction of the winter ban on evictions. However, we urged him to use the breathing space provided by the ban to introduce emergency measures to increase and accelerate the provision of additional social and affordable housing during the five-month period when the ban will be in place in order that many renters will not face a cliff edge of possible eviction when the ban ends. I appreciate that the Minister has staggered the dates to some extent, from April, May and June, but that cliff edge is fast approaching. I ask him to outline the additional measures he intends to take to avoid it.
