Controversy
On January 26th, 2022, historical tweets of Sinéad Ennis were uncovered which contained multiple accounts of anti-Protestant sectarianism, body shaming, misogyny, and downplaying the Holocaust, the latter of which was condemned by a Belfast Jewish community leader. Ennis was subsequently forced into locking her Twitter account and then proceeded to delete a large volume of historic tweets in order to avoid further scandal.
