The Sinn Féin leader has told the Government not to treat her supporters like "second class citizens".
Mary Lou McDonald was speaking at an event launching her party's housing campaign in Clondalkin. She said she wants to lead the next government without Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, but that regardless of whether the outgoing coalition parties would go into government with her, voters for Sinn Féin deserve to be respected.
