Sinn Féin TD and Housing Spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin Image: Sam Boal Sinn Féin TD and Housing Spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin Image: Sam Boal A SINN FÉIN TD has said that an apology from former leader Gerry Adams over a controversial Christmas sketch “would be helpful”.

The company that created the sketch, Ferry Clever, as part of a fundraising campaign for Foyle Search and Rescue have apologised and said that they had no intention to offend anyone. They have also stopped selling Christmas cards that accompanied the sketch. “I think if any of us say anything, even if unintentionally it causes hurt, I think we should apologise for it.”

“What I can do and David Cullinane and our generation of republicans can is, one, make sure that we never have a return to conflict ever again, and two, we all do everything we can to build as peaceful and as united a future as possible. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youIn a tweet after the video was first published, Ann Travers, the sister of Provisional IRA victim Mary Travers said that “anybody who thinks this [the sketch] is funny lacks emotional intelligence”.

Eoin might be getting a knock on the door himself tonight.

Eoin should resign. He’s obviously not a Republican.

A little slap for Gerry from the new breed. How long until they change the name of the party and try to distance themselves from anything to do with the past?

Snowflakeism has taken over SF, ironically cultivated by Adams. I remember when it was a working class Republican party. Adams of course wouldn't get the same treatment he handed out to Barry McElduff over the loaf on the head prank. I was in SF for 5 years and it's ROTTEN.

He’s right

I can't stand Adams but apologise for what. Good grief. The red flag comes before the tricolour for Eoin. The last Irish Republican in SF please switch off the lights.

Jaysus it's like a who's who of tossers in the comments section.

It might be helpful if they apologised to Mairia Cahill while they’re at it!!!

Surely Eoin knows that SF don’t do apologies?

He’ll be found in a bog

Where's Wally?

Amazing how this is getting more coverage than the new that compensation was paid to the survivors of the Miami show band due to Brutish state collusion with loyalist terrorists. A Christmas card and a joke more important, really?

Does Eoin not like his kneecaps attached to his legs?

Cancel culture: ‘Sinn Féin Eats Itself’ edition

No, Eoin is not “standing up” to Gerry. Eoin does nothing without approval.

Eoin will go missing for that.
