Taoiseach accused of being 'smug' as Labour and FG trade blows on housing record

TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR was accused of being “smug and self-congratulatory” during Leaders’ Questions this afternoon, with the Government and Opposition trading barbs over new social housing figures.

The Journal originally reported earlier this year that the Government would miss their overall social housing targets. “It’s a testament to the failed policies of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and your overreliance on a private sector and a market that has patently failed to deliver the homes that are needed.”“You can’t challenge me, my party and my coalition colleagues on our record and then lose the rag when somebody asks about yours.

Leo, Smug? No, I refuse to believe it

I wouldn't mind but he's got fek all to be smug about - The economy is in tatters and our health service is nuked.

He couldn't give a toss about the people of this country he doesn't represent them, his focus is on making sure the rich are catered for by those struggling.. An enemy of the people

Didn’t take him long to turn on Holly Cairns either. Leo is uncomfortable hearing the truth & making it personal is the only defense he has. He is a nasty piece of work.

What a joke

So now it's labours fault
