Justice Minister Simon Harris and Garda representatives have strongly criticised an altered eviction painting posted by Sinn Féin's housing spokesman Éoin Ó Broin.

The artwork which inserted gardaí into a famine-time eviction scene was posted by Mr Ó Broin on Twitter over the weekend, with the caption "no words needed".
