Sinn Féin to remove 38 rules on how do deal with discipline

At its ard fheis this weekend, Sinn Féin will seek to dump almost 40 separate rules on how it deals with instances of internal discipline, bullying, and harassment.

The move is on foot of legal advice, it was stated yesterday.

According to its conference programme, the party’s governing council, or ard chomhairle, is seeking to remove a series of disciplinary powers from the Sinn Féin rulebook and replace them with a condensed set of new rules.
