A new report by the Oireachtas Committee on Housing has urged The Government to consider reintroducing an emergency ban on no-fault evictions to help tackle homelessness.

Ciara and Shane were joined by Rory Hearne, Social Democrats Spokesperson for Housing, Local Government and Heritage; the Gaeltacht and TD for Dublin North-West and FF Spokesperson on Housing and TD for Cork South–Central Seamus McGrath.
