A Kerry TD has indicated he won't support the Government counter-motion on the eviction ban today.
It appears that the Government will win the vote with the support of the Regional Independent group of TDs.
Deputy Michael Healy-Rae is a member of a different grouping of non-party TDs - the Rural Independents.
He says he doesn’t trust or believe the Government and is critical of their handling of the issue over the past decade.
Deputy Healy-Rae is questioning why the Government is only agreeing to a tax relief for scheme for small landlords now:
Kerry's other Independent Deputy Danny Healy-Rae says he knows how he'll vote on the eviction ban motion, but won't confirm which way he'll vote.
He’s also a member of the rural independents group.
