Sinn Féin will not stop members from objecting to new housing developments

When asked if he would call on his colleagues to stop objecting to developments, Eoin Ó Broin said he would not.

Eoin Ó Broin’s motion calls for the Government to extend the emergency ban on evictions until the end of January 2024.

Sinn Féin has said everything must be done to tackle the housing crisis, but it will not stop its members from objecting to new developments, the party said.

An extension of the rent evictions ban until January 2024 is needed to avoid thousands of more people becoming homeless, the party’s housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin told reporters on Tuesday.
