The Government has been dragged kicking and screaming into introducing an eviction ban.

It is still not clear from what the Taoiseach has said - from the wording he has articulated - whether people who have current notices to quit will be protected. If they are not, his proposal is almost useless, frankly. Will he clarify that those who have current notices to quit, who may be overholding and have nowhere to go, and who are facing the imminent prospect of homelessness will be protected by the ban he is introducing?
