The Housing Minister has hit out the deputy's comments.
A midlands TD has been accused of posing a 'risk to social cohesion' from the Housing Minister.
Darragh O'Brien claims Laois-Offaly deputy Carol Nolan is trying to 'put a cap on migration', when she highlighted an 'enormous rise' in inward migration.
Responding, Deputy Nolan said the Housing Minister's comments were 'absolutely outrageous' and 'disgraceful.'
Darragh O'Brien questioned the independent TD's support of migration in Ireland:
Deputy Nolan believes we don't have the facilities to accommodate more refugees, and the idea of a cap should be explored.
She says she's a realist, not a racist:
