Sinn Féin members 'blindsided' as Limerick constituency labelled 'female-only' for next election

Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald arrives at the Convention Centre Dublin.

Some Sinn Féin members in Limerick county say they have been "blindsided" after the constituency was designated "female-only" for the next election.

A Zoom meeting was held last Thursday for members heard from former TDs Jonathan O'Brien and Martin Ferris, who have been tasked with "shaking up" constituency organisations ahead of the next general election.
