Michael McMonagle was employed by the British Heart Foundation in September 2022 .

He was dismissed from Sinn Féin while under police investigation.

Former press officers who provided references did not raise concerns about his suitability for employment.

Charity says it has suffered reputational damage due to the fall out.

Michelle O'Neill has apologised for the hurt and distress caused by the references.

“On Wednesday 25 September 2024 , Sinn Féin and I were informed that two press officers, who were former colleagues of Michael McMonagle , had provided employment references for him," O'Neill said in the statement. "I am absolutely appalled and horrified that this occurred," she continued. "These references were given without the knowledge or authorisation of the party. "Under no circumstances would the party provide a reference, for work or otherwise, for Michael McMonagle .".
