    I have no idea. He should not be expelled simply on the basis of being charged though.

    He is treasurer of Sinn Féin in two constituency organisations! One of only Nine SF members in Northern Ireland to hold that rank. He reports directly to Margaret Adams, SF Treasurer in NI......

    "Senior Sinn Féin officer" implies being at a level of national leadership. He might be a senior officer within the Six Counties Cúige, but it is stretching it to therefore call him a senior officer for the party.

    What about the seven Adams expelled a few month ago in relation to this murder. Was he one of them?
    The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites
