Mick Clifford: Political outrage over housing crisis doesn't extend to Dáil's Easter break

Easter recess will be a break from all the faux outrage and attempted public shaming

 Sinn Féin's Louise O’Reilly TD used the housing crisis to attack Green Party junior minister Joe O'Brien.

The ending of the eviction ban is an emotional subject, as one consequence will be the expected dispatch of some individuals and families to emergency accommodation due to the housing crisis. 

It was an appalling decision, principally because no preparation was made, no mitigating features put in place, ahead of the announcement. The failure to prepare smacks of incompetence and a political misstep.
