The Taoiseach and Tánaiste set out to “mislead the public” over claims that 40,000 new homes would be built last year to “win votes” in the general election, a Sinn Féin TD has said.

David Cullinane said the “tactic” of misleading the public over its housing policies had been a “hallmark” of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
