A former Sinn Fein councillor whose conviction for sexual assault was overturned has hit out at the party for “double standards” over how it treated him compared to a press officer who recently admitted child sex offences.

Cathal McLaughlin, who represented Causeway Coast and Glens, was expelled from the party after he was convicted in 2022 of sexually assaulting a waitress in Scotland the previous year.
