Local Sinn Féin TD calls for Government accountability

A local TD has called for accountability within Government.

Sinn Féin has tabled a motion of no confidence in the Justice Minister with it expected to take place in the Dáil on Tuesday. Minister McEntee has faced calls to resign since the stabbing and riot in Dublin last Thursday. In a statement this morning, Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald said "we cannot have a Justice Minister who refuses to acknowledge the political failures that allowed our communities to become unsafe."

Sligo-Leitrim TD Martin Kenny says while it's likely the motion won't be passed, it's all about holding Government to account.
