Mary Lou McDonald under pressure to address questions over Sinn Fein's handling of child sex offender case
Briefly

"In light of the very serious child protection issues in the public sphere, we believe it is imperative that you exercise your jurisdiction under Standing Order 42 to adjourn the Dáil on this specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent consideration."
"This will permit our national parliament to hold statements on this exceptionally serious matter and enable the President and leader of Sinn Féin, Deputy Mary Lou McDonald to update the Dáil."
"If this were a government party, the party would quite rightly be held to account in the Dáil. The governing arithmetic of the day should not absolve any party in this House from their responsibilities which we all hold to safeguard the most vulnerable in our society namely children."
