Irish election 2024: Simon Harris criticised over candidate found liable for assault

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald also said McGahon would not be a party candidate, calling the video “shocking”.

“That anybody in public life or anyone at all would act like that, it’s very distressing to view,” she told an event in Dublin.

McDonald said it was “no way for a candidate to behave” and that Harris should take action.

Donegal TD (MP) Pearse Doherty said if McGahon had been in Sinn Féin, there would be “wall-to-wall” media coverage.

“It’s surprising that Fine Gael have appeared to carry out no disciplinary activities whatsoever,” he said.

“This was a vicious assault in relation to somebody who required hospitalisation, and let’s be clear that that person would not be a candidate for Sinn Féin.”
