The Social Democrats in Ireland have initiated discussions with the government to address the housing crisis, focusing on the eviction ban set to expire at the end of March. Party co-leaders Holly Cairns and Cian O'Callaghan met with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien to push for an extension of the eviction moratorium. They emphasized the need for immediate action to prevent a surge in homelessness, criticizing the government's current housing policies as inadequate.

They expressed frustration over the government's reluctance to engage in meaningful dialogue on this critical issue, highlighting the urgency due to the impending deadline and the potential human cost of inaction.
