Justice Minister Simon Harris has said that it is “extremely regrettable” that Sinn Féin’s Eoin Ó Broin “attempted to drag” members of the gardaí into “political debate”.
He questioned what Mr Ó Broin “would do in Government” after finding himself embroiled in two controversies in recent months.
Sinn Fein’s housing spokesperson was widely criticised in recent days after he posted a picture of an image by artist Mála Spíosarí that is based on a famine-era eviction. The photoshopped image shows both masked and uniformed gardaí present.
