Sinn Féin’s Connolly faces criticism for letting a woman with a past firearms conviction work at Leinster House for six months.
Fine Gael presidential candidate Heather Humphreys criticized Sinn Féin’s Catherine Connolly for allowing a woman with a past firearms conviction to access Leinster House for six months, calling the duration excessive despite standard procedures permitting short-term day passes during clearance.
The woman, a former Éirígí member convicted over a decade ago and serving over four years in prison, was hired by Connolly for an Irish language committee.
Connolly defended the decision, citing rehabilitation, delays in clearance, and no rule violations, while Humphreys emphasized security concerns related to the serious nature of the offense.
