Sinn Fein, the country’s main opposition party, is in turmoil and facing scandals on multiple fronts. Resignations and in-fighting have engulfed the party as two separate issues have been referred to the gardaí and PSNI involving former party members. 
After announcing his resignation on Saturday, former Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley has claimed he is the victim of a “character assassination” by a “clique” in his former party. Mr Stanley made the shock decision to quit the party late on Saturday night, claiming he had been subjected to a “kangaroo court” over allegations made about him that were investigated within the party.
