Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien told to stop 'spoofing' as Dail hears first time buyers need up to €77,000 to buy a home

Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien has been told to stop “spoofing” as the Dáil hears first time buyers need up to €77,000 to buy a home.

Minister O’Brien faced a grilling in the Dáil from Sinn Fein’s Pearse Doherty as he stood in for the Taoiseach during Leaders’ Questions.

Tipperary and Rural Independent TD Mattie McGrath also waded in and said it is “insanity” to hand developers up to €144,000 to provide apartments and said developers and investment funds are the winners out of the housing crisis.
