The online portal for Sinn Féin’s controversial voter database has been taken offline for a second time. Sinn Féin health spokesperson David Cullinane later said the Abú system had been “compromised” when the website domain was published. Sinn Féin has not responded to questions about why it has been taken down. Sinn Féin would also not say if the Abú system had been compromised again as Mr Cullinane suggested happened to the first portal. However, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald later admitted on RTÉ’s Prime Time that Sinn Féin’s secret database was in breach of at least two data protection rules.
