DUP in Crisis as Election Looms | Limerick News

Northern Ireland’s election race is heating up with the DUP reeling from the fallout of Jeffrey Donaldson’s conviction for child rape, exposing deep hypocrisy and a culture of willful ignorance within the party. Despite having time to prepare, senior figures are struggling to distance themselves from his facade, as former members come forward with accounts of misconduct and warnings about his behavior. An independent child protection review is underway, with sentencing looming just before the vote — adding fuel to the fire.
