A social media “pile-on” against anyone who criticises Sinn Féin does not aid or assist the party, its housing spokesman has said.
Eoin Ó Broin insisted Sinn Féin had very clear social media guidelines and policy and where people make complaints “we follow up very vigorously”.
But he hit out at a claim by Minister for Further Education Simon Harris that the party sent in the “heavies” when a UCD Ógra Shinn Féin member Christine O’Mahony was critical on Twitter of the party.
On Friday Ms O’Mahony tweeted about being told not to discuss internal issues in public and after a party member called to her house to ask her to delete recent critical tweets.
She left the party in light of the controversy surrounding Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley who said he had nothing to apologise for over a 2017 tweet about Leo Varadkar.
