Fine Gael Minister brands Eoin Ó Broin garda eviction tweet 'crass and ignorant'

Fine Gael Minister of State Patrick O’Donovan has described a tweet from Sinn Féin’s Eoin Ó Broin showing gardai at a famine-era eviction as "crass and ignorant".

The Limerick County TD suggested that the "mask [was] lifting" as he argued that the tweet gave the "public an insight into what would life really be like with a Sinn Féin Minister for Justice".

Mr Ó Broin posted a picture of an image by artist Mála Spíosarí that is based on a famine-era eviction on Saturday.
