The Government has won the confidence vote in the Dáil with 86 TDs backing the coalition and 67 voting against.
Neasa Hourigan, who is suspended from the Green Party for 15 months, voted confidence in the Government.
The vote was held after a heated debate in the Dáil chamber that ran for close to two-and-a-half hours.
It was triggered by the Labour Party tabling a no-confidence motion in the Government over its decision to lift the eviction ban on Saturday.
If the Government had lost today's vote it would have led to the calling of a general election.
Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghail described the heckling and interruptions from both sides during the debate as "disgraceful".
Independent TDs Michael Lowry, Seán Canney, Noel Grealish, Denis Naughten, Cathal Berry and Matt Shanahan voted with the Government.
Former Government TDs Joe McHugh and Marc MacSharry also voted with the coalition.
This evening, the Government defeated a Sinn Féin Bill to extend the eviction ban to the end of January 2024, with 81 TDs voting with the coalition and 67 against.
'Political theatre' - Varadkar
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar criticised the Labour no-confidence motion as "political theatre, performative anger and performance art".
He made his comments at the start of the motion of confidence in the Government.
Labour had claimed that the Coalition's record on housing was one of failure and that its decision to end the no-fault eviction ban was akin to forcing people into homelessness.
The Coalition disputed that, asserting that Labour is all about politics rather than solutions, and it amended the motion to read: 'That Dáil Éireann reaffirms its confidence in the Government'.

The Taoiseach defended the Coalition's track record, saying it "led Ireland through the pandemic saving lives and livelihoods," as well as secured a new Brexit deal and worked for solutions to the cost-of-living crisis.
Mr Varadkar said that he believes the housing crisis "cuts so deep" because it "offends our sense of fairness".
"I admire and respect the passion, and indignation, shown by those trying to find solutions, whether in this house or outside of it," he said.
"My only criticism of proceedings in this house is that, too often it allows critics of the Government to show passion and indignation without presenting new ideas, let alone having them tested."
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin criticised the Labour Party, saying the motion served "little purpose".
"Like other left parties they are afraid of Sinn Féin's troll army," he added.
He said its own housing ambition to build one million homes, which was outlined at their party conference last weekend, was very quickly qualified as being half a million new homes and half a million refurbishments.
"We are determined to deliver a step change in house building," Mr Martin said.
Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien said he is used to planning objections from Sinn Féin, but warned the Labour Party, which he added he has "a lot of regard for", - not "to go down that road".
'Housing disaster'
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald accused a succession of Labour, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil housing ministers of contributing to a "housing catastrophe".
Ms McDonald said that the housing crisis "didn't fall from the sky", adding that the Government's current message to young people was "to wait".
She said that her party did not have confidence in the Government.
"How can anybody have confidence in a Taoiseach that cannot answer the straightforward question, where are people meant to go?" she asked.
Sinn Féin's housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin said the Government "turned the housing crisis into a catastrophe".
He said that in two-and-a-half years, house prices have "increased by 20% and rent is up by 23% and is now more expensive than ever before".
Mr Ó Broin said that Mr O’Brien has presided over a "40% increase in homelessness and a 56% increase in child homelessness. Shame on him".
He said we are "stuck in a vicious cycle and the only way to break it is for this motion to pass, and this Government to fall".
The party's health spokesperson David Cullinane said that the problem is many "Irish people are building in Australia and America because they have been forced to emigrate".
"I want a Government that wants to bring those people back," he said.
Labour Party leader Ivana Bacik roundly rejected Government criticism of her party, saying the Government has made a "disastrous" political choice, which is the wrong one in ending the eviction ban.
Ms Bacik said that Mr Varadkar has engaged in "some political theatrics" himself in spending more time attacking Labour than in setting out solutions.
"You just don't have the answers. Your conservative coalition is just not working. It's all spin and no substance," she said.
The Government has overseen a "catastrophic failure" that is a "failure of ideology", which is why she has no confidence in the coalition.
"We are the only opposition party ever to have served in Government," she added.

Heated debate and harrowing stories
Labour's finance spokesperson Ged Nash accused Mr Varadkar of "entitlement" and "an arrogance born out of disrespect for the constitutional right of an opposition party to hold the Government to account".
He also accused the Government of engaging in "grubby little side deals with the cheap dates in the so-called independent ranks" in order to garner support.
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said that the Government showed throughout the Covid-19 pandemic that "we can be flexible and we need to use that experience in being flexible and fast".
He added that in the UK "division strikes at every corner, in Germany the same, France the same".
"What we do is we work in partnership," Mr Ryan said, adding that Ireland is not stuck in the same chaos.
"No one has a monopoly on the desire to house our people," he said.
"That instinct belongs to everyone on every side. Let's not just do slogans, let's not play politics with housing."
Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns said that "time is running out for this Government".
The public has lost confidence, and it "is not coming back", she said, warning that there would be more motions of no confidence.
"Somehow weakness becomes tenacity," she said, and accused the Government of "the usual gaslighting".
"It is determined to plough on regardless," Ms Cairns added.
The housing crisis is having an "absolutely devastating" impact on physical and mental health, she said, with relationships breaking down.
"It is debilitating and it is exhausting," she noted.
'Cruel, cold-hearted decision' - PBP
Richard Boyd Barrett of People Before Profit said that no matter how much the Government tries to "spin it", the debate is happening because it has allowed the "cruel and cold-hearted decision to allow thousands of people to be evicted from next Saturday".
"Workers, pensioners, sick people women, and worst of all children," he told the Dáil chamber.
He said the Government is allowing it to happen and saying it is somehow justified.
His party colleague Paul Murphy advised that anyone who receives a notice to quit should not leave their home if they have nowhere to go.
"Do not make yourself homeless, wait until your notice period is up and appeal to the RTB," Mr Murphy said.
"You should inform your landlord you will not leave because you have nowhere to go. Refuse to allow landlords to make you homeless".
Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín criticised the Government for not doing any modelling to measure the impact of ending the no fault eviction ban.
The Regional Group TD said that "this has been an evidence-free decision" which was driven by ideology.
Another Independent Regional TD Sean Canney warned against pitting landlords against tenants.
He supported the Government in today's vote and said that it needs to push through construction on sites where planning permission has been granted.
Tonight, the Taoiseach appeared to rule out the prospect of an election late next year as he told party colleagues the Government was built to last and it will serve the public for its full term.
Leo Varadkar said there needs to be faster progress on housing and there is no time to waste.
He added that the next two years need to be used well to keep the economy strong, create more jobs, protect the squeezed middle and put money back in people's pockets.
