Election 2020: Sinn Féin facing pressure despite Conor Murphy apology

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald is under fire after her party was accused of “covering up” IRA atrocities and failing to help the victims of violence.

The party’s northern finance minister Conor Murphy is still facing calls for his resignation despite apologising to the family of Paul Quinn for remarks he made about the 21-year-old after he was murdered in October 2007.
