Sinn Féin has suspended Belfast councillor JJ Magee following allegations of inappropriate online communication with a minor. The suspension, announced by National Chairperson Declan Kearney, comes as the party forwards the matter to social services and the police in compliance with its child safeguarding policy. Magee vehemently denies the accusations, asserting his innocence through a detailed rebuttal that he has submitted to the Northern Ireland Local Government Commissioner for Standards. The controversy adds to ongoing scrutiny of Sinn Féin politicians facing similar allegations.
