Taoiseach Leo Vardkar has warned TDs not to “make excuses” for the far-right as he warned that they will “blame whatever problem” they can on migrants.
He made the comments after several TDs raised concerns in the Dáil on Wednesday that far-right groups were using the housing crisis as an excuse to protest against international protection seekers.
There have been a number of protests in recent weeks outside places that are accommodating asylum seekers and Ukrainian refugees.
