Minister Eoghan Murphy hits back at Sinn Féin ‘stunt’

Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy has lashed out at Sinn Féin’s motion of no confidence in his handling of the homelessness crisis, saying the “stunt” is about “getting headlines for themselves” and will fail to take “a single person off our streets”.

Mr Murphy launched the pre-emptive attack as Sinn Féin housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin hit out at his record in charge, which has seen a 20%, 25%, and 40% surge in adult, child, and pensioner homelessness rates respectively.
