Alan Kelly: Protesters intimidating workers building ‘very much needed’ homes

Environment Minister Alan Kelly has condemned protesters who have “intimidated” workers constructing modular homes for homeless families.

Mr Kelly branded protests being held at the site in Dublin where 22 prefab homes are due to be built as “absolutely unacceptable”.

The minister has promised that the 22 modular homes will be finished in time for families — who are currently living in emergency accommodation including hotels and B&Bs — to move into before Christmas.
