Ministers set to discuss ending eviction ban

Government ministers are set to discuss ending the eviction ban.

The cabinet will meet on Tuesday morning to discuss letting the ban lapse at the end of the month.

The recommendation is to let the current legislation underpinning the moratorium on no-fault evictions lapse, it is understood.

The legislation provides for a phase-out of the ban between March 31 and June.

It had been suggested that the ban could be extended as monthly homeless figures continue to rise and people are still struggling with rising rents and bills.
