"Pearse Doherty accused the Government of "abandoning" renters but Simon Harris rounded on him calling him "angry Pearse""
A heated exchange unfolded during Leaders' Questions as Pearse Doherty accused the Government of prioritising landlords and developers, leaving renters abandoned while rents increase and no plan is offered to address the issue. Simon Harris responded by labelling Doherty "angry Pearse" and accusing him of hypocrisy, citing that a fundraising group that aids Sinn Féin accepted donations from US construction firms. Harris argued that Sinn Féin's claim to be on the side of working people is undermined by those donations. The confrontation framed housing affordability and political integrity as central issues.
