Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Nobody in this House is voting for homelessness. We want to develop policies that prevent homelessness. It is our view and the advice we have received that an indefinite long-term ban on evictions would make the situation far worse and would create a greater degree of homelessness over the medium to long term. Why? It is because it would take people out of the rental market entirely.
People will leave the rental market in greater numbers if Sinn Féin's policies are adopted.
