Sinn Fein criticised the comments, highlighting that the far right has used the term traitors to denounce the party, including in a death threat to Ms McDonald. Sinn Fein TD Louise O’Reilly told RTE’s Week in Politics programme on Sunday: “Satire is a core part of freedom of expression, but that wasn’t satire. “These are clearly differentiated in the show format and the past year featured interviews with political leaders, including (Sinn Fein) First Minister Michelle O’Neill. “Sinn Fein is entitled to bring a formal complaint and information has been provided to assist with that.”
