The inappropriate texts to a teenager were sent in September of last year and in December he resigned from the Seanad citing ill health.

Former Sinn Féin Senator Niall O Donnghaile has revealed he is the party member suspended for sending inappropriate texts.

Mr O Donnghaile told the Irish News in a statement he accepted his actions warranted resignation from the party.

The inappropriate texts to a teenager were sent in September of last year and in December he resigned from the Seanad citing ill health.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald is due to make a statement to the Dáil on the issue this evening.

No formal complaint was made by the teenager involved to the PSNI and so it has not been investigated.
