I was contacted by a young married couple who, thanks to the lifting of the eviction ban, had their notice to quit come into effect this week. They are now homeless and are living with family members. They are not the only young married couple who are in that position and who are telling me that there lives are being put on hold, especially when it comes to being able to have children. The couple I mentioned cannot find anywhere affordable to rent. They cannot afford to buy a house. No affordable housing will come on stream in Galway city for a number of years. What does the Tánaiste say to these people who feel there is no future for them here, which is a place they want to build a family?
