Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 May 2019)

Mick Barry: The Taoiseach talked about extending the notices to quit and no one will oppose that. However, why does the Government not ban notices to quit for economic evictions, for evictions into homelessness and for people like the people who have this threat hanging over their head in Dillon's Cross in Cork city at the moment? The crisis is not the fault of one man; it is the fault of the...

These people had paid their rents and had not broken their leases. The previous landlord died late last year and the property had been inherited by a nephew. This nephew no doubt noted that the rents were relatively low. He handed out the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 May 2019)

Mick Barry: It deserves to be given its notice to quit. If Fine Gael is not prepared to protect people being evicted from their homes, is it not right and proper for the people to evict Fine Gael and the Fianna Fáil Party that supports it from the council chambers of this country this Friday?
