Sinn Féin tells Darragh O'Brien to focus on his job in row over housing measures

 Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien TD contacted Sinn Féin members to 'explicitly clarify' their position on first-time buyer supports.

Sinn Féin has hit out at Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien claiming he should be focusing on his responsibilities and not writing letters to opposition TDs.

It comes after Mr O'Brien wrote to senior Sinn Féin politicians requesting that they explain why they are personally pushing for housing measures that the party wants to abolish.
