Taoiseach addresses Traveller accommodation letter sent by FG byelection candidate

The Taoiseach has spoken to a Fine Gael byelection candidate over a leaflet she sent expressing 'delight' that plans for Traveller accommodation had been scrapped in her area.

Cllr Emer Higgins who is contesting the byelection in Dublin Mid-West, wrote a letter to residents in her area in 2014 in which described the decision of the council as a “victory for the community.”
