Episode Details

Jeffrey Donaldson’s conviction on 18 sexual offense charges, including rape, has ignited a firestorm over the DUP’s alleged knowledge of his private conduct — including a 2006 incident where senior officers reportedly saw him enter a gay sauna, just as he publicly condemned homosexuality. The party has launched an independent review, but critics like former adviser David Graham warn it’s too little, too late, calling the crisis the DUP’s worst in two decades and questioning whether any review can restore public trust. Opposition leader Matthew OToole condemned the hypocrisy, especially given the DUP’s history of blocking LGBTQ+ rights, while honoring the courage of the victims.
