Open-minded but still a misjudgement of Sinn Féin

Tipperary councillor David Doran is the latest public representative to quit Sinn Féin, describing the party as “an affront to democracy”.

Mr Doran’s resignation came just before Fianna Fáil deputy and European election hopeful Billy Kelleher offered a view on a FF/SF coalition in conflict with his party leader Micheál Martin’s position. Mr Kelleher also suggested FF should be open to a partnership with Fine Gael.
