Parties at war over 'letters of reference for sex abusers'
Briefly

During yesterday's Dáil exchanges, Mary Lou McDonald challenged the government regarding their response to child abuse allegations and warned of potential revelations about senior figures' past character references for sexual offenders.
Sinn Féin's spokesperson chose not to clarify McDonald’s mention of 'senior' figures connected to character references for convicted rapists, signaling the seriousness of the allegations.
As the general election nears, political tensions have heightened with concerns rising about a potential back-and-forth on serious allegations of child abuse within the Dáil.
In a surprising move, Fine Gael called for immediate government Dáil statements concerning how Sinn Féin managed the child abuser McMonagle, catching their coalition partner Fianna Fáil off guard.
