Sinn Fein official in Lurgan caught up in support fund scandal
The chair of Sinn Fein’s Upper Bann Comhairle Ceantair (constituency organisation) is one of three party officials to resign after the news of the payments broke earlier this week.

Joining her in resigning from their roles were two other party members (whom SF declined to name), including the Upper Bann chair.
