Sinn Féin has suspended a councillor from the party for six months and censured a TD following "ongoing issues" in Dublin.
In a statement this evening, Sinn Féin national chairperson Declan Kearney said: "There have been ongoing issues within the Dublin north-west constituency.
"These have been examined [by] Sinn Féin, and the Ard Chomhairle have made a number of recommendations."
Mr Kearney said that following a complaint from a fellow councilor, Councillor Noeleen Reilly has been suspended from the party for six months.
"With regard to complaints by Councillor Noeleen Reilly about comments in the media by Dessie Ellis, TD, he will be censured by the party," said Mr Kearney.
Mr Ellis said he accepts the decision and apologised for comments he made in the media about Ms Reilly.
"I now want to move on to represent the people of Dublin north-west and to build the party locally," said Mr Ellis.
Sinn Féin said the censure of Dessie Ellis will take the form of a written reprimand.
