The housing minister has slammed Sinn Féin for “trying to block progress in a systemic way” by criticising housing policy and blocking planning applications.

Darragh O’Brien referenced “quite a stark example” in recent weeks when a Sinn Féin politician objected to building “208 social homes, two miles from his own home”.
