Sinn Fein press officers provided references for Michael McMonagle for a job at the charity.

Northern Ireland's first minister Michelle O'Neill said she was "absolutely appalled and horrified" by the references.

She said the references were given without the knowledge or authorisation of the party.

The BHF said it is confident it undertook "all necessary statutory and moral duties" throughout the hiring process.
