You don’t get to have a double barrelled name in Sinn Fein

Funny because they had plenty of friends who were fans of the double barrel.

She went from one news media to another after the election slagging off SF and talking about Watsapp messages been sent around the party

Hardly a surprise she left

Bad for SF

Edit: r/Ireland seems to think that this whole thing has been a good situation for SF?

It seemed inevitable she would resign. It's a dog bites man story.

Yes, but has the whole situation been positive for SF or would they prefer if it never happened?

Pitbull mauls child to death stories are not irrelevant

A party that several people have outlined has a toxic culture and bully’s people out of the party. No other party seems to have the same issue. In fact, SD will seem to depend anyone regardless of whether or not what they did was wrong…
