Mary Lou McDonald's comments have drawn criticism from relatives of IRA victims and political opponents brendanhughes64
Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald captured the building air of expectation in the party last weekend at its annual conference in Dublin.
The latest controversy came after Ms McDonald said there was "no comparison" between the IRA and gangland criminals in Dublin. The Sinn Fein leader said she was "profoundly shocked" to learn of his criminality, but said gangland criminality was not comparable to the IRA. “And I can tell you… when you talk to Breege Quinn, her son was a victim of an IRA murder. When he was beaten to a pulp, where his mother couldn’t even put the rosary beads in his hand he was so badly beaten by those criminals.
The controversy is unlikely to impact Sinn Fein's poll ratings in the Republic, where health and housing are among voters' main issues of concern.
