Sinn Féin Expels Member After Partner's Arrest in Far-Right Terror Probe

Party officials say she failed to disclose a Garda raid on her home.

Overview

  • Gardaí arrested a third man in his 30s in Co. Laois on Wednesday and are detaining him under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
  • The Special Detective Unit is leading a cross-border terrorism investigation with cooperation from the PSNI.
  • Two other men were charged last week with possession and control of explosives and were remanded in custody.
  • A court was told a video from a “violent” right‑wing group threatened attacks on a Galway mosque, IPAS centres and hotels housing migrants.
  • Sinn Féin says the expelled woman was not arrested and that her partner is not a party member, and party leaders praised the speed of Garda actions.
