The events surrounding Michael McMonagle's departure from Sinn Fein have raised questions about the party's handling of child safeguarding issues after sex offence allegations surfaced against him.
McMonagle was suspended the day after his arrest by the Police Service of Northern Ireland and ultimately had his employment terminated a year later, leading to further scrutiny.
The references provided by Sinn Fein press officers to McMonagle's new employer did not mention the police investigation or his suspension, prompting significant backlash.
The resignation of Sinn Fein press officers, following the revelation of their references to McMonagle, underscores the mounting pressure on the party to address these safeguarding concerns.
