Cllr Frank McBrearty has claimed someone interfered with his laptop during a Donegal County Council meeting. “I couldn’t hear what was being said at the AGM", he said.

It's not clear whether Cllr McBearty checked to see if the volume was turned up.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

As more details emerge about Jeffrey Donaldson, my thoughts remain very much with his victims as they continue to come to terms with the traumatic crimes inflicted upon them.

As further revelations come to light, there are serious questions that must be answered, particularly as senior DUP figures have now admitted to knowing of Jeffrey Donaldson’s inappropriate conduct, hypocrisy and duplicity over many years.

The public need and deserve answers about who knew what and when, and there is an onus on the DUP to ensure those answers are provided.

I have issued an official complaint to Sinn Féin's party president in both her role as a public representative and as a political office holder in respect of a number of individuals and safeguarding issues, including but not limited to bringing a victim face to face with their perpetrator. Seperately the complaint also includes asking them to sanction Gerry Adams for his knowledge of and action/ inaction on several cases. I expect the party to hold itself to the same standard it expects the DUP to.

To date, no member of Sinn Féin has ever been sanctioned or expelled for their actions on the cases I have communicated to them.

To date, the party has not subjected itself to an independent review of its actions in these cases.

I expect them to deal with my complaint and take action against their members in line with their safeguarding policies.
