Sinn Féin has appointed seven TDs to key committee roles, each receiving an additional €10,000 annually. Mairead Farrell, now chairing the Finance Committee, takes over from John McGuinness and will focus on oversight issues like the Arts Council's IT system overspend. Other roles include Matt Carthy leading the Justice Committee, Maurice Quinlivan overseeing Disability Matters, and Rose Conway-Walsh chairing Defence and National Security. This marks a significant increase in committee leadership for Sinn Féin, with a commitment to address wasteful spending and immigration policies, according to leader Mary Lou McDonald.
Mairead Farrell will take over as chairperson of the Finance Committee, a critical role previously held by Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness, emphasizing her influence in scrutinizing public expenditure.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald highlighted that this is the largest number of committees the party has ever chaired, focusing on taxpayer money and migration policy.
