The Sinn Féin leader says Simon Harris has questions to answer over his support for Senator John McGahon.
It’s after photos in today’s Sunday Times show evidence of injuries sustained by Breen White following an assault by Senator McGahon in 2018.
The 33 year old senator – who’s a Fine Gael candidate for Louth in the upcoming election – was found not guilty of assault in a criminal case, but a High Court jury found him 65 per cent civilly liable.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald says the Taoiseach’s endorsement of John McGahon is highly concerning.
The Fine Gael leader says he stands by a party senator, who was found by the High Court to be civilly liable for an assault.
Fine Gael leader and Taoiseach Simon Harris says they’re standing by Mr McGahon.
