Letters to the Editor: SF hypocrisy in selection of ministers in North

Mary Lou McDonald needs to clarify and justify past decisions

Sinn Fein Leader Mary Lou McDonald.

Last week, the leader of Sinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald once again raised the suitability of Leo Varadkar remaining in ministerial office because he had sent a copy of an agreement between the State and the Irish Medical Organisation to Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail, the then president of a rival GP organisation, the National Association of General Practitioners (NAGP). 

Despite pointing out that the information was already in the public domain, he admitted that what he did was “inappropriate” and apologised.
