Text
First Minister, you have outlined that you did not see Mr McMonagle in the Great Hall, but is it really credible, given the circumstances in which he departed employment from Sinn Féin, that not a single member of the Sinn Féin Assembly team was aware of his presence in this Building that day and brought that to your attention?
