Clare TD Violet-Anne Wynne felt 'ostracised' by local Sinn Féin before resignation

TD told the 'Irish Examiner' she felt she was being pushed out by fellow SF members 'through gaslighting measures and what can only be described as psychological warfare'

Internal rows within her Co Clare constituency are what led to the resignation of Violet-Anne Wynne from Sinn Féin, the Irish Examiner can reveal.

Ms Wynne, who was elected in February 2020, resigned  via an explosive statement on Thursday evening. She said she had left the party "for good reason".
