He is still a TD and a TD of the @FineFail party and FF parliamentary party. They are just shooing him to the back bench and out of the spotlight. #Troystory
Resigned, gone to get the story out of the media and before the 'conditions' of other TD Landlord's properties are investigated. #TroyStory

No surprise to see the Minister for Homelessness Darragh O’Brien defending one of the biggest landlords in the Dáil, Junior Minister Robert Troy today.

An aspect of #TroyStory worth discussion is how private wealth gives a leg-up in the political system, which in turn can boost wealth. It's a lot easier for a lad with 11 properties to find the funds to run for election that it is for a single mother or someone with a disability.
