My second question relates to free legal aid. The pandemic has brought about many unprecedented changes to life in Ireland and nobody has been untouched by the efforts to combat the spread of the disease and flatten the curve. As we settle into our new normal, the need for stability is paramount. One of the biggest worries for many in the months ahead will be housing. This was the case prior to Covid but housing has taken on a whole new dimension since. With the moratorium on evictions, those who have had a stay on their eviction are uncertain of their future status. Many more are worried that they will be unable to pay rent in the coming months and will be forced into similar situations. The public needs to know where to turn for legal advice. Will the Taoiseach speak about the difficulty that many people have faced in seeking civil or legal aid or advice for home repossession cases? Will he indicate how hangover repossession cases will be dealt with in the aftermath of Covid? Will more information on timing of these cases or aid be available to the public?
