Image: NIcky Ryan/TheJournal.ie MINISTER FOR HOUSING Eoghan Murphy has faced his second protest in two days as he arrived at the RDS in Dublin today.

Arriving at the European and local elections count centre, Murphy found himself surrounded by dozens of protesters chanting “Murphy Murphy Murphy, out out out”.Murphy, who has faced significant criticism from housing activists over the government’s record on housing, did not respond to the protesters today. Garda and RDS security staff intervened in the protest to shield Murphy from the protesters.

Peter Dooley, People Before Profit candidate for Kimmage-Rathmines, was one of the leaders of the protest. People Before Profit member and housing activist Conor Reddy also took part in the protest. Speaking to TheJournal.ie, Reddy said the protest wasn’t planned but “we felt we couldn’t let him go unchallenged”.
