Cork North West, Fine Gael TD Michael Creed has this morning criticised Sinn Fein for being duplicitous on the issue of policing. Commenting on Deputy Mary Lou McDonald’s allegation that the arrest of Sinn Fein Leader Gerry Adams was politically motivated Deputy Creed said:
“Sinn Fein and in particular their Deputy Leader Mary Lou McDonald has been very vocal in recent weeks when upholding the independence and the authority of policing on this island. Then in a gross act of hypocricy she unleashes an irresponsible and calculated attack on the credibility the authority and indeed the independence of the PSNI when she accuses them of acting in a politically motivated fashion”
“The truth of the matter is that Sinn Fein’s approach to justice is selective and in itself politically motivated”
