Sinn Fein…Are they a Cult, or a Democratic Party? Wealthy including some of their members beyond other parties in Ireland and the recipient of large inheritances. But Who are the Watchers, that Control the Party??? Very heavy Mist, hangs over this, Mary Lou Party???

Violet-Anne Wynne’s resignation from Sinn Féin last week made her the fourth Oireachtas member in just over four years to resign from the party, following Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh in late 2017, and TDs Carol Nolan and Peadar Tóibín in 2018.

Whilst all departed for their own unique reasons, there are some similarities in their grievances – including allegations of bullying, isolation, centralised control of decision-making and, in the case of Nolan and Tóibín, no say over what staff were recruited to work for them.
