Sinn Féin hits out at NI fundraising limits

Sinn Féin has branded tighter fundraising regulations proposed for Northern Ireland as both “ludicrous and an attack on the democratic process”.

Party chairman Mitchell McLaughlin said while the proposed changes would have “little or no effect on Sinn Féin’s international lobbying and publicity operations”, it was nonetheless “further evidence of just how far the British government is prepared to go in attempts to restrict Sinn Féin’s growing influence”.
