Conor Murphy, a longtime Sinn Féin representative with extensive experience in the Northern Irish Assembly, is seeking election to the Irish Seanad. He highlights his commitment to shaping the constitutional debate and pursuing self-determination for Ireland.
With more than 30 years’ experience as a councillor, MP, and MLA for Newry and Armagh, the South Armagh-born man is one of Sinn Féin’s most senior representatives.
“I think my own experience on this side of the border and my experience in office as a negotiator over many years dealing with various governments can make a contribution to help shape that debate, and to hopefully put a plan in place for constitutional change which will lead us to a referendum and to self-determination.
In October, the party was criticised following revelations around inappropriate texts sent by Mr Ó Donnghaile to a teenage party member. Ms McDonald subsequently apologised for her tribute to Mr Ó Donnghaile following his resignation.
