The Labour Party has rejected claims that it has objected to nearly 11,000 houses in Dublin in the last three years.
Fine Gael’s Richard Bruton issued a statement on Saturday morning, the second day of the Labour Party Conference, stating the party had "objected to or attempted to hinder the progress of at least 10,804 homes" in Dublin City Council since 2020. The accusations comes just days before Labour’s motion of no confidence in the Government following its decision to lift the eviction ban.
Mr Bruton claimed that Labour leader Ivana Bacik had objected to 894 units, Áodhán Ó Ríordáin had objected to 807, Senator Marie Sherlock had objected to 2,995 homes and housing spokesperson and Senator Rebecca Moynihan had objected to 1,595.
