'Stop the BS': Verona Murphy excoriates govt housing policy after voting against coalition

Verona Murphy, one of the independent TDs who did not vote with the government on yesterday's eviction ban motion, has blasted its track record on housing

WEXFORD TD VERONA Murphy has slammed the government’s housing policies, after voting against the coalition yesterday.

“You and your minister have failed to influence policy that makes viability a planning consideration,” she said.“If I have one child in Wexford that isn’t accommodated, I’ll be bringing it here and it’ll be sitting in the Ceann Comhairle’s lap,” Murphy said. Labour leader Ivana Bacik said yesterday that tabling a no confidence motion in the Dáil is not something her party does lightly.

She said the Government “cobbled together” measures to shore up support for the counter-motion, adding that some of the new proposals “appear to be antithetical” to government’s own aims.
