Violet-Anne Wynne sees no hope of reconciliation with Sinn Féin

Clare TD left the party last year citing 'psychological warfare' while she was on maternity leave

Clare TD Violet-Anne Wynne said there had been 'absolutely no' contact from Sinn Féin.

A former Sinn Féin TD said she was "kept busy doing things that weren't the work" of a public representative and that there is little hope of her returning to the party.

Violet-Anne Wynne left Sinn Féin last year citing "psychological warfare" while she was on maternity leave. Since returning to Leinster House in September, she told the Irish Examinershe is "in a much better place" as a TD.
