‘I have no confidence in Eoghan Murphy’

Sinn Féin may table a motion of no confidence in Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy as the number of homeless people reaches almost 10,000.

Party leader Mary-Lou McDonald hit out at the Government’s record on homelessness. Asked whether Sinn Féin would table a motion of no confidence in Mr Murphy, she said “of course it’s a possibility”.

“I have no confidence in this Government, I have no confidence in Eoghan Murphy,” said Ms McDonald. “We haven’t decided or considered tabling a motion, but certainly we could and I don’t think anyone can credibly continue without calling this Government out and without calling Eoghan Murphy out.”
