WATCH: Man nears 50th day singing outside Dáil to protest housing crisis

Protest songs have long been a way of forcing politicians to act.

For nearly 50 days, the singer-songwriter Mark Leahy has been protesting outside the Dáil in Dublin in an effort to get the Government to solve the housing crisis. 

He was there on the day the coalition survived a motion of no confidence over the lifting of the eviction ban and the housing crisis.

The Government won the no-confidence vote.
