Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: As my colleagues have said, my party will table our own amendment to this motion. I find it hard to take seriously Sinn Féin's interest in housing or indeed in anything. As a new Deputy here, I saw at first hand Sinn Féin running to the hills when it came to forming a Government. Its members could have had an input into policy or into Government but they ran to the hills instead....
