The Lord Mayor of Dublin has said he refuses to turn an incident that left a homeless man with serious injuries in Dublin into a political football.

On Newstalk Breakfast with Susan Keogh this morning, Paul McAuliffe accused the Taoiseach of using the incident for “political purposes.”

It is believed the man was sleeping in a tent at Wilton Place on the Grand Canal when workers attempted to move it with a utility vehicle.

He remains at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin where his injuries have been described as “life-changing.”
