Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald has labelled the housing crisis a “catastrophe” during a heated shouting match with Taoiseach Micheál Martin in the Dáil.
It comes as the opposition accused Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien of denying that there was a “housing emergency”.
During a head-to-head debate with Sinn Féin’s housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin, Minister O’Brien was asked by Virgin Media presenter Claire Brock: "Do you think we are in a state of emergency when it comes to housing?”
