Leader Gerry Adams has been accused of not telling the full truth about what he knows about the killing of Brian Stack, the Portlaoise Prison officer who was fatally shot by the IRA in 1983.
Mr. Adams says that Mr Stack's son gave him the names of four men who may have information on the case – however Austin Stack has today interrupted a press conference to accuse him of being a liar.
Councillor Mike McKee has been telling me he believes the emergence of the latest allegations are linked to the party's performance in recent polls.
