Independent TD Verona Murphy came close to tears in the Dáil on Thursday as she lambasted the Government over its decision to end the eviction ban.
The Wexford TD was one of the few members of the Regional Independent Group not to back the coalition in Wednesday evening’s vote on the eviction ban.
The Government won a countermotion on Wednesday night after Sinn Féin proposed extending the moratorium on the eviction ban until the end of January.
