Leo Varadkar branded ‘delusional’ as he defends Eoghan Murphy

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has accused Sinn Féin councillors all over the country of opposing the construction of social housing as he defended the Government and Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy.

Mr Varadkar faced criticism during Leaders’ Questions in the Dáil yesterday, with Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald at one stage claiming the Taoiseach was “delusional” over the housing crisis.
