The article they shared featured an image of Gerry Adams, the fact that he's also now a member of the DUP is quite interesting too: "Democratic Unionist Party's Sinn Féin says he will oppose any deal with UK Prime Minister Theresa May that undermines a 1998 peace deal." Again, we must reiterate, we KNOW that people make mistakes. That doesn't stop the hilarity from ensuing online:I'm a Northern Ireland native journalist and can't find full time paid work, but someone at Sky News Australia thinks Sinn Fein is a person. pic.twitter.com/F2pDpYSEsR

I think it's short for Sinn Feinstein, and he's an old mate of Dee Youpee.

To be fair, I thought Gerry Adams was called Sinn Fein. Until I was about six.

A positive thing to come out of this blunder is that it looks like the journalist in question could get a job out of it!Can you give me 1500 words on Irish politician Fiona Fáil?
