The deputy First Minister, Emma Little-Pengelly, said that “ultimately this isn’t a crisis of institutions, it is a crisis within Sinn Féin”.
Little-Pengelly said Sinn Féin need to “get their house in order” and that “no organisation should operate with a cloak of secrecy”.
When it comes to safeguarding of children, “there are very serious questions for Sinn Féin to answer”, she said.
“It is really important that everyone steps up with full transparency and honesty to answer these serious questions.”
She added that there are “serious concerns” about the internal mechanisms of Sinn Féin and a “lack of transparency”.
The deputy First Minister said that the party faced a “crisis of confidence” and that there are “legitimate political questions” to be asked.
However, she said it was her intention to “continue to try to ensure stability” at Stormont.
