What happened
Ireland’s Department of Housing reported that the number of people accessing emergency accommodation reached a record high of 10,975 in September. This marked the third consecutive month the figures were at this high. In response, the government introduced emergency legislation to protect renters by deferring 'no fault' tenancy terminations through the winter.
