The Sinn Féin leader says that former Transport Minister Shane Ross "can suggest what he wants" about how she paid for her renovations to her family home.

Mr Ross published a book on Ms McDonald last month, with one chapter raising questions about how Ms McDonald and her husband Martin Lanigan paid for the renovation of their home in Cabra.
