Sinn Féin’s David Cullinane has denied that the party’s performance in recent opinion polls has tumbled due to suggestions it is linked to organised crime.
It comes following several mentions of Sinn Féin during the ongoing Gerry Hutch trial in the Special Criminal Court.
Former Sinn Fein councillor Jonathan Dowdall was sentenced to four years in prison last year for facilitating the murder of David Byrne in Dublin’s Regency Hotel in February 2016.
