Verona Murphy comments 'astonishing and extraordinary', says Micheál Martin

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has said that health and housing are the main issues being brought up on the door step rather than immigration while canvassing in the four byelections.

He told Newstalk Breakfast that he thought some politicians were “playing the race card” because they think it will work in their favour and they were doing it by using comments like “we have to house our own.”
