Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said he will not debate the housing crisis with President Michael D Higgins despite Government Ministers “embarrassed” over the “public scolding.”
It comes as well-known homeless campaigner Fr Peter McVerry backed President Higgins, who called the housing situation a “disaster” and "our great, great failure.”
Opposition TDs blasted the Government on Wednesday in the Dáil, stating President Higgins had “come out and called you to account.”
