Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not trade insults with anybody. I have not traded insults with Deputy Connolly in particular. I have responded to her courteously and with respect. I have to put this on the record. Very often comments are made as if we trade all of the insults. We do not. I accept what Deputy Connolly has just said. She has made the very interesting point that no one in the House has called for an indefinite ban on evictions. That was the rationale for lifting the eviction ban in the first instance. Now the issue is timing or the duration of an eviction ban. That seems now to be where we are.
