Labour's Ged Nash has dismissed 'Simon Harris' as 'a yappy dog chasing a tyre'.
His comments about the likely, 'soon to be' new leader of Fine Gael, marked the start of the party's two day National Conference on Saturday and Sunday, at the Helix in Dublin.
Mr Nash hit out at Simon Harris this morning, adding that 'if he caught the car, he wouldn't know what to do with it'.
In a reference to his social media prowess, Mr Nash said he didn't believe 'the TikTok Taoiseach would transform anything, but merely tinker around the edges'.
Labour wants the housing crisis addressed, saying homelessness is a stain on our society.
The party says it would build 50,000 homes a year and another 50,000 to retrofit.
Labour Senator Rebecca Moynihan says the Government isn't making the most of the money it has.
"The social contract has been broken by this Government. We are seeing record Budget surplus', we have money we can only dream of.
"Yet people are living in housing insecurity, we have over 4000 children who are homeless, the cost-of-living is skyrocketing, and what we are seeing is record hospital waiting lists.
"Homelessness is something that is a stain on our society, and we need to reinstate the eviction ban. Under no circumstances in a rich country like Ireland should we have these record rates of homelessness."
