List of Sinn Féin MPs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Sinn Féin MPs. It includes all members of Parliament elected to the British House of Commons representing Sinn Féin. Members of the European Parliament, Dáil Éireann or the Northern Ireland Assembly are not listed. Sinn Féin MPs practice abstentionism regarding the House of Commons and thus do not take their seats.
