Row as Noonan is accused of being a ‘vulture-fund lover’

Accusations that Finance Minister Michael Noonan is a “vulture-fund lover” sparked a major row at the Oireachtas Housing Committee yesterday.

During his contribution to the committee, Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation chief David Hall was speaking about the lack of supply of new homes when he spoke about Mr Noonan.

Fine Gael deputies objected to the remark and the disagreement led one TD to walk out.
