Niall Ã Donnghaile confirmed he sent inappropriate texts to a 17-year-old boy.

Sinn FÃin president Mary Lou McDonald said there were no findings of illegality and no criminal charges were pursued.

She has come under pressure over the party's handling of recent child safeguarding issues.

She said Mag Uidhir and McGinley "knew their actions were sackable offences so they jumped before they were pushed". The Sinn FÃin leader also apologised directly to the British Heart Foundation for "being dragged into this controversy"..
