The Irish government was “missing in action” during the clean-up to damage caused by Storm Eowyn, a Social Democrats TD has said.

Wicklow TD Jennifer Whitmore said the government can no longer “wash its hands” of the response and said Environment and Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien should answer questions.
