Conor Sheehan (LAB), Limerick City

There have been three mass evictions that we know of this year. A total of 20 families were served with notices of termination from The Park on Lord Edward Street in Limerick, along with 14 families, as stated earlier, on Ballybane Road in Galway. The RTB data from this morning is stark. The Government is presiding over the largest level of evictions since the Famine. Last year, 20,033 people received notices of termination. That is the population of Swords. There was a 41% increase in the number of notices of termination in quarter 4 of last year alone. We need emergency action. There must be an emergency moratorium on evictions. If we bring forward legislation on this in the coming weeks, will the Government work with us to progress it?
