Leo Varadkar shifts blame for tragic accident involving homeless man onto Dublin City Council
Leo Varadkar has shifted the blame for a tragic accident involving a homeless man onto Dublin City Council. The man was moved while sleeping in his tent by the canal in Dublin and suffered life-changing injuries.
The Taoiseach was asked about the accident at the Fine Gael election campaign launch at the Combilift factory in Monaghan. Mr Varadkar seemed to get involved in some type of victim blaming when he said that “the man was offered accommodation previously.” He also moved to distance the government from this blatant example of housing policy failure by saying that it was “the responsibility of Dublin City Council.”Paul McAuliffe is the Dublin Lord Mayor and he is a Fianna Fáil councillor. poll loading Who will you vote for in the upcoming General Election? 0+ VOTES SO FAR Fine Gael Fianna Fail Sinn Fein Labour Solidarity-People Before Profit Independents 4 Change Green Party Social Democrats Aontu Workers and Unemployed Action Human Dignity Alliance Other How to follow the Irish Mirror on social media You can like our main Facebook page here.
