Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I know for sure that lifting the eviction ban means the prospect of homelessness for thousands of people, and the Taoiseach knows that too. I know too their fears, their worry, their anxiety, and I know that amplifying that fact, amplifying that experience, is not in the least bit exploitative. As a matter of fact, those who face the prospect of homelessness in a matter of days expect us to come to the Dáil, expect us to amplify and to express that experience, expect us to fight the Taoiseach tooth and nail and not to give up in our bid to have him change his mind.

The Taoiseach said - I have to say, in a very trite manner again - that there is nothing really to worry about here: “Sure, they will get new tenancies”; “Sure, they will be all right.”
