Another councillor quits Sinn Féin

Sinn Féin is embroiled in another internal controversy after a councillor quit the party over its failure to tackle “unethical behaviour”.

The latest departure comes just days after a senator also resigned due to similar issues in the party.

Galway council councillor Gabe Cronnelly confirmed he has left the party just 48 hours after senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh also stepped down due to alleged “inaction” over widespread “disciplinary issues”.
