SF's Eoin O Broin slams Minister's homelessness claims

A fresh row has broken out between the Government and opposition after Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy claimed the number of homeless families in Ireland has dropped in the past year.

Sinn Féin housing spokesperson Eoin O Broin rejected the claim, saying the reality is there were 28 more families in emergency accommodation by the end of August than at the same time last year.
