Another Sinn Féin councillor resigns from party
The BBC reports that Moyle District Councillor Padraig McShane has resigned from Sinn Féin. From the report
In a statement on Friday, he said he was leaving Sinn Fein. But he remained tight lipped about the reason why.
He said that his decision followed “certain allegations” which might be taken up by “certain hostile media elements”.
“My adjudication on this matter leads me to believe that those hostile elements within the media would use any allegation to attack my party and the job of work it has undertaken,” he said.
It is understood he will remain as a councillor representing the Glens District in Moyle Council.
Mark calm wooooossssaa. I havent named any individual I have alluded in general terms, which would make legal action laughable if not impossible
Paudie is no longer a SFcouncillor, he has ceased to be. Perhaps rather like the Norwegian Blue he is pining for the Glens of Antrim and no longer wishes to be nailed to the SF perch.
I’m told that the East Antrim SF selection meeting was held in Larne and that Paudie McShane narrowly lost out to Oliver McMullan following a drawn first vote. Both are currently councillors in Moyle but part of Moyle may now be part of the East Antrim constituency. Perhaps others can bring greater clarity.
I know the “story”
Can’t wait for the S**t and Fan to collide
Sunday World tomorrow apparently. Read in online so you don’t have to buy the rag.
So what happened to the Paudie McShane story? Was it a good day to bury bad news?
