Right2Housing Campaign Staging Protest in City Centre Today
The Government's housing policy is working very well for landlords.
That's according to one of the organisers of a protest march in the city centre today who says the group have no confidence in the Housing Minister's ability to tackle the housing and homeless crisis.
The Right2Housing campaign are staging the protest just days after the latest record homeless figures revealed that over 10,500 people including almost 4,000 children are now homeless in Ireland.
Minister Eoghan Murphy survived a motion of no confidence in the Dáil on Tuesday night by 56 votes to 53.
Speaking to RedFM News, Karen Doyle from the Right2Housing group says Irish housing policy is in need of serious reform:
The march starts at Daunt Square at midday
