Sinn Féin “probably wasn’t vocal enough” about concerns raised by the public regarding the international protection system, the party’s justice spokesperson has said.

Matt Carthy told a Sinn Féin event at the National Ploughing Championships that there has been confusion about the party’s position on migration, due to political opponents having “misconstrued” its policies.
