Trust women – but obviously not the ones you disagree with as Mary Lou throws Carol Nolan out of Sinn Fein for her Pro Life views




The new leader of Sinn Fein, Mary Lou McDonald constantly says “trust women” when referring to the debate on the Eighth Amendment but obviously she doesn’t live by her own rule.

Offaly-North Tipperary Carol Nolan has been given great acclaim from many Sinn Fein supporters after she came out hard to save the Eighth Amendment.

Carol voted against yesterday’s proposed bill that would lead to a referendum on the Eighth Amendment.

But democracy appears to be dead in the water in the eyes of Mary Lou McDonald.

McDonald has thrown Carol Nolan out of the party because she didn’t vote how Mary Lou told her to do so.

It’s understood that another well known pro life TD Peadar Toibin is also in the firing line from the party as he has stated that he’ll be voting to save the Eighth Amendment should the referendum take place.

The Eighth Amendment is the amendment in the Constitution that currently protects unborn Irish babies from abortion.

Do you think it’s fair that Carol Nolan has been thrown out of Sinn Fein until at least July as a result of simply being Pro Life? Tell us what you think in the Facebook post comments.
