There has been a major backlash
Carl KinsellaCalls for Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy to leave his post have mounted following the TD's controversial comments on"co-living" developments being planned in Dublin.
At leader's questions in Dáil Éireann today, Cork North-Central TD Mick Barry asked Leo Varadkar if he was not"tempted" to give Murphy"the sack". Eoin O Broin, housing spokesperson for Sinn Féin, has compared the new developments to"tenements of the future." O Broin said:"The Minister’s comments about young people having to make sacrifices in terms of rental accommodation are quite frankly bizarre. Young people are facing rising costs for rents, insurance, and education and the Minister’s patronising comments were not helpful.
