Eoin Hayes, a newly elected member of the Social Democrats, faces suspension after conflicting statements about the sale of his shares in Palantir Technologies, a firm involved with the Israeli military. His delayed disclosure and subsequent misrepresentation of the sale timeline raised serious concerns within his party and led to internal ire. The incident raises broader questions about the party’s vetting practices and its commitment to ethical standards while it advocates for Gaza. Other political rivals, including Labour and Sinn Féin, have seized on the misstep, adding pressure to the party.
