The politician is understood to be claiming that he was defamed in an article written by McGee and published in The Irish Times which concerned the Sinn Féin response to the Hamas attack on Israel. Last year the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the Tánaiste Micheál Martin, the Minister for Justice Helen McEntee, and the Minister for Expenditure and Public Reform Paschal Donohoe, all criticised Sinn Féin saying threats of legal action and legal actions taken by members of the party against politicians and the media were having a “chilling effect” on Irish democracy.
