Ms McDonald also said it was 'legitimate' for people struggling with housing to ask what happens to them in response to an increase in migration.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said her party’s representatives have been “leaderly” on the issue of migration and in responding to the “pretty shambolic” Government plan.

Asked what would happen if Sinn Féin representatives were to make comments similar to those made by two Fianna Fáil councillors in Co Galway, she replied that there would be a disciplinary process.
