Taoiseach Micheál Martin faced accusations from Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald of calling her a liar during a Dáil session over comments regarding Rent Pressure Zones. McDonald contended that his remarks could compromise protections for renters against corporate landlords. Following her claims, she formally requested the Ceann Comhairle to ensure Mr. Martin withdraws his comments, which a government spokesperson dismissed as a distraction. This exchange reflects ongoing tensions between the government and opposition over issues of accountability and transparency in housing policy.
Ms. McDonald expressed concern that the Taoiseach's remarks could remove protections for renters, putting them at the mercy of corporate landlords.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin denied that he announced anything regarding Rent Pressure Zones and did not acknowledge allegedly calling Ms. McDonald a liar.
