Varadkar accuses Sinn Féin of 'living on another planet' over social home delivery 

A new ESRI report has called for a significant increase in borrowing to fund the development of housing.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has accused Sinn Féin TDs of “living on another planet” during a heated clash in the Dáil over the delivery of social and affordable homes.

Rejecting accusations from Sinn Féin’s Eoin Ó Broin that not one social home has been built, Mr Varadkar said one third of all homes built this year will be social and affordable homes.
