Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

We will not be supporting it. There were two no-fault eviction bans in recent history. Both happened while I was in government. The last one did not work. Homelessness increased and the number of people in emergency accommodation increased for almost every month that it was in situ . It just deferred homelessness and made a bad situation worse later. That is not a solution. The solution is more supply of housing in general and more supply of social housing in particular. I am glad that last year we built more social housing than in any year since the 1970s and we are going to break that record again this year.
