Sinn Féin reshuffles minor roles, seeks stronger ties with opposition parties despite election vote drop.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald defended her party's minor frontbench reshuffle, emphasizing a focus on improving support and cooperation with other opposition parties. Joanna Byrne and Donna McGettigan were promoted, and the party aims to work with groups like Labour and the Social Democrats to influence policy and hold the government accountable. Despite gaining two seats in the election, the party's popular vote dropped by 5.5 percentage points. McDonald insists Sinn Féin will be a strong opposition force in the Dáil.
