Housing Minister slammed for U-turn on selling properties to tenants in situ

Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy has been slammed for doing a U-turn on measures to sell properties with tenants in situ to protect wealthy landlords and investors.

Mr Murphy was accused of behaving as though "preserving the wealth of some is more important than keeping a roof over the heads of others" after he rowed back on previous commitments, stating he cannot do anything to tackle vacant possession orders.
