Last week saw the launch of a new political party in Ireland,
something that would normally dominate the news here. We will come back
to the fledgling party, which has the odd name of Renua, in a moment.
But the fact is that most of the headlines here over the past few days have not been about Renua. They have been about Sinn Fein, which is up to its neck in another sex abuse controversy. It's a story that makes uncomfortable and depressing reading, but it cannot be avoided or ignored no matter how much Sinn Fein tries to minimize it.
