Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Broin prioritises non-Irish nationals over locals in Dublin Mid-West
Sinn Féin Housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin has strongly condemned attacks on Dublin City Council homes allocated to households headed by people born outside Ireland, labelling them "racist" and "entirely unacceptable."
In a statement following reports that 24 council properties were targeted after being given to non-nationals, Ó Broin said there is "no place for discrimination on grounds of nationality, race or religion" in social housing allocations.
He criticised politicians, including Oireachtas members, for protesting outside vacant council homes, claiming they create a context that legitimises such attacks. He also hit out at government figures for linking rising homelessness to increased inward migration.
While acknowledging "deep frustration" among local families and individuals waiting up to 10-15 years for council housing, Ó Broin insisted the problem lies not with the council's allocations policy—which has prioritised non-Irish nationals—but with insufficient government funding for building more social homes.
Critics argue this stance shows Ó Broin placing the interests of foreign nationals and refugees ahead of his own long-suffering constituents in Dublin Mid-West, downplaying legitimate local grievances over housing allocations in favour of defending the current system and condemning community backlash as racist.
