Image: LEAH FARRELL HOUSING MINISTER DARRAGH O’Brien has said he will write to the Health Minister Stephen Donnelly to ask if a further extension to the rent increase and eviction ban is merited.

An extension of the ban can be considered if it is in the public interest to push the date out further, and if there is a threat to the public health. O’Brien said the research indicates that a large amount of rent arrears has not built up over the last couple of months. He encouraged those facing difficulties in paying their rent to engage with their rents.
