Galway Labour City Councillor Niall McNelis has demanded that the government produce the Attorney General's advice on the emergency eviction ban.

It is being reported this morning that a winter evictions ban is back on the agenda, following advice from the Attorney General.

It's believed coalition leaders will meet tomorrow night to discuss the prospect of a 'time-limited, conditional' ban from rental properties from December.

Earlier this week, Tanaiste Leo Varadkar said a ban like this would result in fewer people losing their homes this winter - but could also increase the number of landlords leaving the rental market - leading to higher homeless levels next year.

Without an emergency eviction ban and a time-limited rent freeze, Councillor McNelis said the number of people entering homelessness in Galway will continue to rise.
