Mairéad Farrell (SF), Galway West

Evictions have been notified to 14 tenancies on Ballybane Road in Galway city. This is a devastating and frightening time for those who are affected. This is the third time in recent weeks that we have seen larger-scale evictions come into play. It is the first time we have seen it in Galway city, where there are serious housing pressures, and it is very worrying. It is a frightening time for those involved. What does the Government intend to do about these large-scale evictions we are seeing? What protections will be put in place and what hope can be given to these families, who are feeling very worried?
