Rodney Edwards | Fermanagh TV: Domhnall O’Cobhthaigh quits Sinn Fein
A Sinn Fein councillor has announced his defection to the Socialist Party.
In a statement, Domhnall O Cobhthaigh said Sinn Fein now shares a “right-wing economic agenda” with the other main Assembly parties.
He added that he unambiguously opposed “all groups who would wish to take us backwards to conflict.”
Mr O Cobhthaigh, who also resigned his council seat, is the fourth Sinn Fein member of Fermanagh District Council to leave the party in the past two years.
