First cabinet meeting of the new political term set for tomorrow; Fine Gael to discuss housing crisis

The homeless and housing crisis is likely to dominate a meeting of Fine Gael ministers today.

Housing, flooding, hospital trolley figures, and the upcoming Garda breath- testing report, as well as water charges, are expected to be discussed by Fine Gael ministers today ahead of the first cabinet meeting of the term tomorrow.

In the the wake of the deaths of three homeless people in the past week, Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy is expected to brief his party colleagues on progress on the crisis.
