Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach of Ireland, has publicly criticized Mayo County Council's Director of Housing, Tom Gilligan, for proposing a boycott of holiday-home owners. Gilligan suggested this measure in an effort to address the high number of vacant properties in the area. However, the council distanced itself from these controversial proposals, emphasizing a commitment to community cohesion rather than division. Martin highlighted the government's priority of building more houses as a solution to housing shortages, rather than alienating holiday-home owners who have ties to local communities.
