Sinn Fein has dismissed a party member who was one of four football hooligans jailed last week for an attack on a pub in Londonderry.
Francis O'Reilly, 29, is serving three months in prison for causing damage to the Tavern Bar on the edge of the loyalist Fountain estate last Monday.
The party says he was "summarily dismissed" after his involvement in the attack became known.

Actually, it's still officially 'Londonderry'. The Royal Charter naming it so has never been amended.
The Mind boggles when you consider the speed with which these idiots were arrested and sentenced, when the scum which terrorises our communities seem to be immune from prosecution and are allowed continue unhindered by the PSNI.
Then again the Bohemian fans idiots though they are, don't work as informers and they do come from the South.
Another attempt by the Shinners to curry favour with the Unionists. Their attempts at reaching out to Unionism keeps getting thrown back in their faces as what happened today with the Irish Language. Their response was muted as usual.
They weren't as quick throwing out the killers of McCartney as they were a football lout.
Sean There is a big difference. This lad admitted that he was guilty fo the offence that he was accused of. Therefore it was quite easy and proper to dismiss him. It is a bit harder for any organisation to dismiss someone if they deny the offences or not be accused of any offences in the first place as happened in the McCartney case.
Sinn Fein are utter hypocrites. They have milked the football scene for money for the last 10 years, encouraged all the shite Scottish bands that play Fraziers, all the mindless 'oh ah up the ra' crap, while party members have been running about with two of Dublin's major clubs battering each other. What did they expect?
Mind you, if some poor idiot gets expelled for throwing bottles in a Prod pub, what should happen to Bik McFarlane and co?
I dont like those bands myself, personally think them crap, but what has that to do with these idiots smashing up a bar? Nothing.
