This was discussed by the Cabinet yesterday. The temporary ban on evictions will not end on Monday. The Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, will make an announcement in early course as to what his intentions are in this regard. As the Deputy will appreciate, however, the legal advice on this is very strong and states that the ban can only be temporary and cannot continue forever, for reasons that are well rehearsed. A medium-term solution will be needed as well as a temporary extension of the ban. The Minister is working on this and will make a statement on it soon.
