Taoiseach says it's 'deeply worrying' Sinn Fein supported Michael McMonagle for charity job

Taoiseach Simon Harris speaking to the media at Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin ahead of the 113rd Ivy Day Commemoration. Speaking in Dublin on Sunday, Mr Harris said it was “deeply worrying” that “somebody under investigation for sexual crimes against a child moved from working with Sinn Fein to a charity that works with children” and “that move was facilitated by employer references provided by the party”. On Saturday, it transpired that Sinn Fein had known a year ago that two of its press officers had provided references for Michael McMonagle for a job with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) in 2022 after his contract with the party had been terminated.
