Full coverage: Sinn Fein

Sinn Féin performed poorly in the recent by-elections and the aftermath has led to questions about what exactly the party stands for. Housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin mounts a robust defence.

The fund collected €188m in 2024 in excess energy company profits, yet the pot remains largely unspent. Opposition groups, climate and energy experts, and activists told The Currency where the money should go in the here and now to tackle energy poverty and the climate crisis.

Sinn Féin’s Northern Ireland Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald discusses growth, jobs, tariffs, and tax from a cross-border perspective.

Sinn Féin’s Conor Murphy has a long career in the republican movement, including being jailed for IRA membership in the 1980s. He talks about moving to the Oireachtas, his regrets about the past and his comments on the murder of Paul Quinn.

Sinn Féin keeps repeating the same mistake. It’s a cognitive dissonance which can be seen in sharp relief in its decades long treatment of Máiría Cahill.

The party is engulfed by the resignation of its front-bench TD Brian Stanley just as it embarks on a "a complete overhaul of governance procedures" following the McMonagle controversy. John Looby argues its problem is rooted in placing loyalty above all else.

The party's resilience raises two questions: why hasn't it returned to its former glory, and how has it maintained such steadfast support? Twelve graphs help explain the paradox.

The right’s consolidation is the story of the local and European elections in 2024, not Sinn Féin. However, based on experience elsewhere, there is not enough time to create a concrete, well-organised, hard-right or populist alternative for the coming general election.

The path forward for Sinn Féin is unclear. The degree to which it toes the government’s line on immigration while castigating its failure to deliver more housing will likely determine its success. The party needs to innovate – and unlike Switzerland, it doesn’t have centuries.

Fresh from triumphant local elections in the north, Sinn Féin's long march towards full-on power and responsibility is nearly complete. How the party negotiates this new territory will have consequences, writes Tommie Gorman.
