Minister James Browne accused of 'fleeing the country' as Opposition slam new housing plan in Dail

"Housing Minister James Browne has been accused of 'fleeing the country' and 'running scared' instead of defending the Government's new plan to tackle the spiralling crisis."

"You couldn't make it up."

Housing Minister James Browne has been accused of 'fleeing the country' and 'running scared' instead of defending the Government's new plan to tackle the spiralling housing crisis. He attended a housing conference rather than touring domestic studios to promote and explain the new policies. Sinn Féin's housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin publicly criticized the choice and framed it as an abandonment of responsibility. Ó Broin said the minister's absence left the government's proposals undefended in the domestic media. The criticism focuses on the timing and visibility of the minister amid rising housing pressures.
