Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am afraid I am not familiar with that particular research. Legislation approved by the Cabinet last night and to be brought forward will ban evictions during this level 5 period. There are, of course, some exceptions such as anti-social behaviour or where criminal acts are involved.

The research that I have seen shows that evictions in Ireland are relatively uncommon compared to other countries. Notices to quit may be more common but actual evictions in Ireland where people are evicted on foot of a court order are much lower than they are in other western democracies.
