Last week it emerged the home of a Sinn Féin party member had been searched by investigating gardaí, and the member’s partner was later arrested. One of the properties searched was the home of the Sinn Féin party member and her partner. Last Wednesday a man – the Sinn Féin member’s partner – was arrested for questioning in the midlands as part of the investigation. It emerged last week that the now-expelled Sinn Féin member and her partner were previously signed into Leinster House on two occasions. It is understood the arrested man also took part in a Sinn Féin event in April commemorating the 1981 IRA hunger strike.
