Sinn Féin to hold election post mortem behind closed doors tomorrow

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald and senior party officials from both sides of the border will meet in private tomorrow in a bid to explain their disastrous local and European election results.

The private meeting of the party's ard chomhairle will take place in Dublin two weeks after Sinn Féin lost two MEPs and more than half of its local council seats in a shock double election defeat.
