The Government comfortably defeated a motion of no-confidence put down by Sinn Fein with a showdown in the Dáil in which the Taoiseach accused the party of “aggressive populism.”
Sinn Fein took aim at the Government and targeted their failure of the housing crisis telling the Taoiseach “the housing disaster was created by you..it is sustained by you.”
While the Government heckled Sinn Fein over their climate plans, said they “demonised” landlords, while Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys said if Sinn Fein were in power, anyone “that does a day’s work would be taxed to the hilt.”
