Former UFC fighter Paddy Holohan suspended from Sinn Féin party for underage girl remarks

Less than a year after being elected as a Sinn Féin councillor representing Tallaght South, Paddy Holohan has been suspended from the party with immediate effect, following offensive comments made on his podcast.

The former UFC fighter shocked listeners during an episode of his “No Shame” podcast, where he stated that there were “some f***ing scum women out there” before claiming there were “loads of” underage girls pursing men and blackmailing them for for up to €10,000.

“…there’s a situation that I heard during the week... somebody was underage, the person didn’t know they were underage, the girl pursued the guy,” Holohan said on his podcast.
