Sinn Féin’s housing policies would further drive landlords out of the market, Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath has claimed.

Mr McGrath has hit back at the Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald who said the Government comes into the Dáil with “fairytales” about tackling the housing crisis when their policies are “driving an entire generation of young people from here to Perth, Sydney, Toronto, and beyond”.
