Fine Gael TDs quiz Mary Lou McDonald on her relationship with Jonathan Dowdall

Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald has said that her party “stands behind” the Special Criminal Court as Fine Gael TDs attempted to quiz her about her relationship with Jonathan Dowdall.

Dowdall, a former Sinn Féin councillor and a convicted criminal, acted as a State witness in the trial of Gerry “The Monk” Hutch. Hutch was acquitted of the murder of David Byrne in the Regency Hotel in February 2016 earlier this week.

Dowdall was a councillor in Ms McDonald’s Dublin Central Constituency between 2014 and 2015.
