Sinn Féin said its MPs are 'fully compliant' with the register of interests at Westminster and 'all relevant interests are declared in line with the rules'
The DUP has written to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner about Sinn Féin MPs not including wages received from the party on their register of interests.
The North Belfast MP works up to 20 hours a week for his law firm, according to his register of interests. But the DUP's Ms Forsythe said: "Sinn Féin has declared that these MPs are 'employees' of the party and are paid as such, yet this does not seem to be declared in their register of interests."With millions flowing into Sinn Fein bank accounts, there is no cost-of-living crisis in Connolly House but Sinn Féin elected representatives must properly declare the financial interests.
In the past Sinn Féin had long maintained all its MLAs and MPs accepted an "average industrial wage" with the rest donated to the party and constituency matters.
